If you were married to your spouse before you became a permanent resident, your spouse may be eligible to receive following-to-join benefits. This means that you would not have to submit a separate Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for your spouse, and your spouse would not have to wait any extra time for an immigrant visa to become available.

Following-to-Join Benefits for Spouses

If you were married before you became a lawful permanent resident, and your spouse did not physically accompany you to the U.S., your spouse may be eligible for following-to-join benefits. This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for your spouse, and your spouse will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. In this case, you may simply notify a U.S. Consulate that you are a lawful permanent resident so that your spouse can apply for an immigrant visa. Your spouse may be eligible for following-to-join benefits if your relationship still exists and if one of the following is applicable:

You received a diversity immigrant visa
You received an employment-based immigrant visa
You received an immigrant visa based on your relationship to your U.S. citizen sibling
You received an immigrant visa based on your relationship to your U.S. citizen parent when you were already married

If you fall into one of these categories, please submit the following information to the U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services:

Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition
A copy of the original application or petition that was used to apply for your immigrant status
A copy of the I-797, Notice of Action, for your original application or petition
A copy of your alien registration receipt card or I-551

If the I-824 is approved, the USCIS will notify a U.S. consulate that you are a lawful permanent resident so that your spouse can apply for a following-to-join immigrant visa. Your spouse must then contact the local U.S. consulate to complete the processing.

Почему он должен будет ждать квоту после апрувала I-130? Его семья отвечает всем требованиям для Following-to-Join Benefits - был женат до того как получил Грин кард, получил грин кард через DV-лотерею? По идее всё сходится

Вопрос кажется немного другой. ПОлучила ли семья вместе с ним визу по DV? Если да, то I-130 не нужна. Если не получила, не понятно почему, то тогда ХАНА.

Скажите, могу я как-то ускорить эту процедуру, или оформить какую-то другую визу, чтобы жена и дети находились здесь (в США).

Chem ran'she vy podadite na grajdanstvo, tem bystree oni smogut priehat'. Konechno, pri uslovii, chto I-130 priamo seichas budet zaranee podana na kajdogo rebenka svoia. Toropit' approval I-130 net smysla - on vse ravno proizoidet do poluchenia grajdanstva, kak ni kruti, daje esli na eto uidet po maksimumu - 999 dnei. Glavnoe - vse je nezamedlitel'no (po krainei mere ne pozje 2005 goda) podat' I-130 na kajdogo rebenka, inache k momentu poluchenia grajdanstva approvala I-130 na detei escio ne budet i vot togda deistvitel'no pridetsia jdat' special'no approvala I-130 na nih.

Kstati, detiam skol'ko let? Oni poka nejenaty/nezamujem?

Uspehov!
