Got EB-1 approved (current date April 24 - 2023) - please help!

[BengaliMunda 0]

Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I have been granted approval for my EB-1(A) application, and the current date of approval is April 24, 2023.

I have a question regarding my daughter's eligibility for the status of adjustment (I-485). She is a Canadian citizen by birth and was included in the I-140 application. As of the current filing date, Canada is listed as "Current" in terms of visa availability.

I am the principal applicant, originally born in India, and I understand that India's priority date for September 2023 is not yet current in relation to my application.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance and support on whether my daughter, as a Canadian citizen by birth, can apply for adjustment of status (I-485) as the secondary applicant for the green card.

Thank you for your assistance.

Warm regards,

Bengali Munda Houston, Texas

She cannot adjust without the principal adjusting first or at the same time as secondary applicants. So you'll have to immigrate/adjust first before she can adjust.

No she cannot adjust by herself as she is dependent
