You dont need that form. To add a spouse to your pending i485, you just have to file a new i485 for your spouse along with all the supporting documents needed. But you can only do that if your priority date is current for filing.

you can add her if your PD is current.

I-824 says its for action on an approved application, so i dont get why you guys are looking at this form if your i485 is still pending. Not sure if I’m missing something.

@Sag PK you can still file a I-824 with a pending I-485. it will remain pending until your 485 is approved.
