Hello I have got my Labor and I140 approved. My priority date is Nov 2003. My lawyer is asking me to file for 485 but is not very forthcoming about my case.
Here is my problem:
I am getting married in september and I would wish to file for my wife so that she can receive her green card along with me. however she CANNOT join me in the US (till june 2008) as she is completing the last year of her studies back in India.
1. I have heard that I cannot file for her (adjustment of status) if she is not with me in the US. Is that true?
2. If #1 is true then what other options do we have to file simultaneously?
3. I have heard about consular processing and I am not sure about the pros/cons, priority dates etc. Can anyone guide me through what is consular processing? Or send me links?
Confused.
