緊急求教老師: EB1a 剛批了I-140。大女兒不在美,這月底就滿21歲。她這I-485該怎麽辦?
-What kind of visa will she plan to use to come back? If it is H4, she has to come back before she turns 21.
She can file I-485 now or within one year after she turns 21 as your dependent.
-Correction: she can file I-485 in US within one year from the date your priority date (PD) is curret (i.e. now) if your PD is still current within one year, not within one year after she turns 21.
就是說,她在生日前回來是關鍵,不能在外國添任何表格申請?
-The problem is that she can not use H4 visa after she turns 21 unless she can can get F1 visa, etc which may be difficult to get.
Another choice is that if she plans to stay outside US for longer time, you may file I-824 for her together with your I-485 filing and thus, she can apply for the immigration visa (green card visa) in the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China.
