Questions on GC processing , currently on H4 ?: Hi I am currently in H4 in California waiting for my H4 EAD application. I have few questions on the future GC processing-

1) my spouse is on H1B and his employer filed his i140 which was approved 4 years back in eb2. At the time of GC filing the process will be "Employment based GC", right?

2) my spouse was divorced before and his ex wife was listed as dependent while filing his i140 back then . Will this be an issue for my GC or can there be any complications?

3) can me ( H4) and my spouse (H1B) file GC together?

Shah’s answer: Your question is a still confusing but I will attempt to answer. If an I-140 petition was filed and it is used to file the adjustment of status, then the answer is yes, it is an employment based GC. As such you should probably be a derivative on this case.

Can my company file I-485 for my husband with me as his dependent based on his approved I-140 from different company ?: Me and My husband are on our own H1B visa provided by employers. His PERM date is in Aug 2011 while mine is in 2018. His priority date is live ?
Can my company file I-485 (adjustment of status) for my husband with me as his dependent based on his approved I-140 from different company ?

Shah’s answer: No you cannot use your H I-140 to file adjustment based on yours. He can file the adjustment of status when his date is current and his company's offer still holds and you can be the derivative. Call a lawyer for a more detailed analysis.
