National Interest Waiver 1 I 140 approved, spouse out of status

I 140 approved, spouse out of status

My I 140 (NIW) was recently approved, and my spouse has been out of status since early 2008, can she file I 485 or what are our chances.

How could your wife be out of status when you could have easily transfered her to your dependent status (F-2 J-2 H-4 etc of what ever the status you had). Were you out of status too.

This might be really complicated. But as far as I know (Im not a lawyer) this could be fixed unless your wife has ever posed as a citizen( which will never be forgiven). Your problem may be well beyond the comments of this forum. Consult a lawyer.

I just got married last august, and she was already out of status by then. I have never been out of status
