I filed an I-130 for my wife who is already in the US on a G-1 visa (and has been for the last 23 years).  She can stay in the job as long as she chooses.

 

I know this is an unusual situation and I am curious to know if anyone has had experience with or knows what happens after NOA2 for the F2A application? 

 

Does she just submit an AOS application?  If so, how long would this take?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice or feedback

She would need for her priority date to be current to file the AOS, so you start with the I-130 and wait.

Quick follow up question.

 

After filing AOS, if my wife's visa expires, can she stay in the country while the AOS is being processed? And she can travel if she is issued a travel parole?
