I think you better prepare for married life outside the US as your wife was admitted to the US unlawfully if she entered as a married derivative beneficiary.  USCIS will discover that she was wrongfully granted LPR status, so she is not eligible to petition for you.

We dont know about that now what happened  please help is that case happened  to anyone else you know and what consequences  had to face in this case?

USCIS will see that the date of your marriage listed on your marriage certificate is before your spouse petitioner's "Resident Since" date on her green card.  It's likely that USCIS will deny the petition due to your wife not being eligible to petition.  Worst case scenario is that USCIS will discover that your wife illegally used the visa to enter the US when it was meant for an unmarried derivative.

Can you please clarify who the Petitioner was for your wife’s case? ( need to determine if wife was “ derivative “ or principal.

 

Am assuming wife is LPR and filed for you ( husband) as F-2A …How old is your daughter?

I can not think of a derivative beneficiary category that allows the derivative to be married? Perhaps there is one out there.

 

So how did she qualify?

For that category you have to be single. So something has gone wrong and  was inadvertently issued a visa

If her visa was for an unmarried visa holder, she entered the US under the wrong visa category.  That could be seen as misrepresentation.  I would consult an attorney who can analyze the entire sequence of events. 

She should have entered the US before marriage.

I find it difficult to believe she was issued a visa with the Consulate knowing she was married, obviously the details are critical.

Well, she's in US. Only thing that could really be done for her to not get deported once USCIS catches on is the INA 237(a)(1)(H) waiver.

This is way above this site's paygrade.

@Boiler @Crazy Cat the whole process took 12 years to get visa issued in thi process also she aged out (more than of 21 years) and parents loose hope to get visa issued so they had married her to me...

 One thing more also we tell them that she had married in Ds-260 Alien registration  form we mentioned  all that about marriege and provide all information  like marriage  date her spouse all details etc also when the medical happened  before issuing  visa the medical officer  asked her are you married she told that yes I am married so the medical  officer refused  to take medical and told her to wait then the medical officer called the US embassy and tell them all the embassy allowed  to do her medical... so in this way all we did is in legal way.....

i understand that you have followed the procedure … declared the marriage on the DS260.. and the advice of the consulate.  Unfortunately, if it is assessed that her visa was issued in error .. even though it seems to have been a USCIS error.. I cant see them ignoring the error or its consequences. Best to get a GOOD lawyer to review everything with you now.. you need to know where things stand for both of you. Please let us know ..
