    As long as she is married to you and in valid status; then yes, she qualifies as a dependent under your petition. Please note that if you are an H-1B, your EB 3rd or 2nd preference labor certification may take several years to be current.

    Check with the company attorney as to which preference category you qualify for and what the priority date backlog is for your country.
