Hi,

You can be married and sponsor your spouse in the F2A category: www.h1b1.com/sponsor.htm

However, your spouse will need to maintain independent nonimmigrant visa status until the priority date is current, or until you become a U.S. citizen, before her adjustment of status application can be filed.

You can call our law firm during business hours at 212-268-3580, or email [email protected] for guidance.

You can petition for a spouse if you have a green card, however, she must not be out of status at the time she is ready to file for adjustment of status. If she is out of status then you will have to wait until you are a U.S. citizen to file.
