I am thinking of traveling back to Nepal on TPS advance parole in the 1st quarter of 2016, get married there, and return before end of May 2016. I have a EB2 process going on with employer just submitting wage statement to DOL a week ago. My OPT extension is valid till May 31, 2016 and I am NOT planning of going back to school afterwards (will remain on TPS till end of 2016). I would like my future wife to join me in US ASAP. So, I am wondering what are the best ways to go about it given my condition? I am open to all legal means for her to join me such as F1, dependent visa (if applicable) or any other means that I am unaware of. Is it a bad decision to get married while on TPS AP from legal perspective? Please don't ask me why I can't get married or find a girl in US. It has been a really sensitive matter to me and I prefer not to disclose it. TIA for all suggestions. Jay Nepal.

I got married while on AP as well. Since TPS does not grant you a status. Bringing your wife is irrelevant to TPS. That being said ...If you have a status such as F1 or H1b , Asylum(tricky)-- your wife can apply as F1 , H1b dependent or an asylum derivative.

@fdpower_ Thanks. I will be on F1 status till May 31, 2015. Are you implying as long as I get married and file for her dependent visa before my F1 (OPT) expiration there is a possibility of her being able to join me as a F2? Also, by that time I will likely to have PWD and recruitment steps done for EB2, so can I ask the employer to have her as dependent on my EB2 petition or is it too late at that point?
