尊敬的8老师您好：
之前一直得到您很多帮助，但最近副申请人485被拒，290-b亦被拒。现在想咨询您几个问题以便筹划下一步，请您百忙之中予以指点：
（1）副申请人485 去年底被拒绝，原因就是现役党员身份。同时主申请人绿卡批准。副申请人由于外籍律师的草率回复rfe而被拒。拒信拒的干脆，并没有要求提供补救措施。副申请人当月写了详细的statement申请290B，当时未一起提交601（可能算失策）。今年4月提交601，以主申请人绿卡及美国出生子女为由申请豁免。601还pending间，290就失败了。问题是现在没有了pending的485，601还是否还可能被批准？
-Yes. I-601 approval depends on the reasons you used, irrelevant to I-485.
我理解601是独立审批的，那么601批下来，副申请人可以用于下一次的485申请？或是如果10月排期出来601还在pending，可以relink到新的485上面吗？ 副申请人目前有其他合法的身份在美。
-Because your spouse has the legal non-immigrant status, he/she is qualified for filing a new I-485 within US (after the I-601 is approved). Because the I-485 was denied, he/she cannot do the I-485 relink, and has to file a new I-485 after the I-601 is approved.
（2）主申请人有两个被批准的140。一个是eb2（2015年pd），一个是eb1（2017年pd）。主申请人是用eb1进行的绿卡申请并获批。现副申请人希望follow to join (结婚先于绿卡批准），是否eb2和eb1的140哪个排期先当前就用哪个？或者两个relink在一起用？而不是一定是用主申请人递交485的那个140，我的理解对吗？
-No. Your spouse has to file I-485 based on your approved green card (based on the EB1 I-140 priority date). If the EB1 I-140 priority date is current, your spouse also can file new I-485 before the I-601 is approved by providing the statement explaining why he/she joined the Party (e.g. employment, promotion) and what activities he/she participated in (e.g. routine Party group meetings, activities, payment of membership fee).
You may consult an experienced lawyer (e.g. Chinese born lawyer) to compose the statement if you want to file a new I-485 before I-601 approval.
（3）现在副申请人有有效签证在美，不存在485deny后非法滞留的问题。但因为是否能继续延期身份不确定，考虑到重新递交至少也要10月，过程至少也要1年，如果副申请人在重新递交485后被迫离开美国，可能无法继续在美国境内等待485，所以不得不考虑领事馆程序。
-After filing a new I-485, your spouse can stay in US legally even if he/she has no non-immigrant status.
有没有可能先走826要求领事程序，随后也递交485，两个一起，一旦485因离境而失效，还有领事程序可以继续？
-No. If you file I-824, USCIS will deny the pending I-485 or you withdraw the I-824, then USCIS can consider your I-485.
还是只能二选其一。-Yes.
有的网站说先递交485，再走领事程序相当于放弃485，但我不知道反过来可行不可行？另外为485而申请的601可否用到领事程序上？-Yes.
（4）另外如副申请人还暂时在美国境内，是否也可以选择走领事程序而不是485？-If he/she has a non-immigrant status, he/she can file I-485 within US. Otherwise, he/she has to go to China to apply for the immigrant visa.
问题比较多，希望8老师能够帮助我们度过难关。万分感谢！
