What is the “following-to-join”?
U.S. permanent resident who married before the date of obtaining the U.S. permanent residency can possibly confer following-to-join benefits to his or her family members (husband, wife, and child). Essentially, through this process, spouses and children will be able to receive U.S. Green Cards quickly. The following-to-join is for alien spouse and children to receive derivative benefits based on a primary permanent residencys immigration application approval.
