Hi guys. I have an approved EB-2 NIW and I'm going to get married soon but my spouse is outside the US while I am in the US. How can I include my future spouse in my green card petition? Does anyone know?

to Justin:

When you say "approved" NIW, do you mean 140 or 485? If it's 140, your spouse can still get a GC through you, but if it's 485, she's going to have to get a GC separately.

I meant approved NIW I-140. So, she can file I-485 with me, right?

to Justin:

Nope, she can’t file I-485 if she is outside of the US. I-485 is for those in the US. Your spouse will have to wait until your I-485 is approved and the go through immigrant visa processing to get her GC.
