What happens now since I and my wife did not file the I-829 together for EB-5?

I have filed I-829. My wife never filed her conditional green card application. If my 829 is approved, can she still follow to join? Or do I have to file I-130 for her?

    You will file I-130 for her.

    If she was never a conditional permanent resident, and you want her to move to the U.S., you will need to file a visa petition for her.

    You can file both an I-824 following to join and an I-130 petition and see which comes up first. In immigration, one can often pursue the goal via multiple options.

    She can follow to join as long as your marriage was established prior to your conditional green card.
