Hello everyone,
I am wondering if itÂ’s better for me to get married before my GC interview which is on Feb 1st, 2019 ( I got notice about my interview yesterday only, Jan 1).
My scenario:
Priority Date is current, ROW filler, H1-B thru EB3
Pending i485( filed in June 2018)
My H1 visa is expired in 2016, but I have approved extension until 2019 September. I also have GC EAD/Travel Doc combo card.
Questions:
1) Can i goto my country and get married in this situation (it is arranged marriage)? Meaning i have to go and get married (court) in a week or so and come back for interview for the Feb 1.
2) Once I get married, when can I add my spouse under me?
3) How likely is it that it is going to be under Administrative Review cuz it may appear as visa fraud since I am getting married after I got scheduled for an interview. The thing is I was looking for a girl before only, but all of a sudden I got the interview notice yesterday.
3) Can i add my spouse during the interview when the consular asks for any changes? Will she be considered under same visa category or will it go under I-130 category.
4) Is it worth taking the risk leaving the country so close to my interview with expired visa(I have AP)?
The benefit I am looking for is for my wife to get GC with me or else she has to go through I-130
5) Or is it better to take interview and wait for GC before leaving and apply for my spouse through I-130?
I have scheduled an appointment with a lawyer but itÂ’s 3 days apart, I know lots of information on this forum has been helpful, hoping respons from anyone with similar situation.
Thank you!
