QUESTION
Is it possible for me and my husband to apply for a green card individually?
Asked on Mar 12th, 2014 on Immigration - Michigan
More details to this question:
My husband is on an L1 visa and I am on an H1-B visa. Can both of us apply for Green cards individually through our employers and name each other as dependent? Will it cause one of us to cancel our pending green card application if the other one gets processed and approved first?

Yes, you can do that but once you get to the final stage of the green card process, the adjustment of status, there can only be one application per person, either as a principal or a dependent.

Each of you can apply for the green card with the other as a derivative beneficiary spouse.
