My spouse is a green card holder sponsored by an employer.As wife, where should i start to claim my benefits?

my spouse obtained his immigrant visa status sponsored by an employer and I-130 had been approved together with his approved immigrant visa petition in the year 2000. My son turned 24 last January 30 and my daughter turned 23 last March 2 of this year, 2007. They're both still unmarried. As benefeciaries of my spouse immigrant visa. What are we going to do?Where shall we start processing the claims. We're currently in the Philippines right now. Please help us!

Answer:
Just what benefits do you think you are entitled to. Your husband is an immigrant and has a job. If he has any benefits they would come through his employer. Most likely only you would receive benefits because your children are adults. You are not entitled to any money from the government so don't ask.
What benefits? You haven't earned any. I hope you are not another so called immigrant coming to the U.S. for a handout. As for your kids, they are adults now. They should be able to fend for themselves.
I'm assuming that the benefits you speak of are your Green Cards as the derivitive spouse and children of a green card holder.

If your husband's employer sponsored him as a permanent resident, you and your children should have been listed as beneficiaries under your husband's application. Once your husband's application was approved, you and your children still needed to wait for visas to become available before a Green Card will be issued to you (there is a limit to the number of green cards every year).

USCIS is currently processing visas for applications received in 2002, so you should have been scheduled for an interview with the Manila embassy already. I would verify with your husband's employer to be sure that you were, in fact, included in your husband's application. If so, then I would contact USCIS to follow up with your visa appointment.

Sometimes, paperwork gets lost if anyone moves, so make sure your husband provides his current address to USCIS so they can mail paperwork to him, as well as your address in PI so the embassy can mail paperwork to you.

Suwerte!
if you are classified as 2A on the I-130 notice of approval you have a very long wait in the Philippines, the country with the biggest back log for immigrant visas. If you are 2A your children convert to 2B after age 21, which is even a longer wait, if they marry before your husband becomes a U.S. citizen they are out of the process.
