my dates are current and changed company way back in 2007 and right now work for my wife company(she registered as It cosulting services), my question is anyway that's an issue as i work for her and she is dependent on me ?
I will assume that your immigration is based upon some form of employment-based petition and that you are attempting to port your case to your wife's company under the rubric of it being in a same or similar occupation. The rule is that this type of relief is only possible where the I-140 petition has been approved and 180 days elapsed since the filing of the I-485 adjustment of status application. If these conditions have been met, there is nothing in the law that would preclude an individual's being so employed in his or her own company. When you say that your wife is dependent on you, the fact that she may be financially dependent would likely not cause a problem. However, if she is your dependent for her immigration case, that might cause U.S.C.I.S. to wonder whether there is an issue of her unauthorized employment.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
