US Immigration from Vietnam

I am a U.S. Citizen, and my wife has an H-1B visa. We currently live in the U.S.

I have filled out the online version of the I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. However, we would also like to concurrently file the I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), as well as related forms: I-765 (Employment Authorization) and I-131 (Travel Document). The I-130 Where To File documentation notes: "You cannot file Form I-485 or Form I-129F online at this time".

However, it appears that it is still possible to concurrently file an I-130 and I-485, even if they are submitted separately:

To be considered concurrently filed, the immigrant visa petition and the adjustment of status application (Form I-485) are filed at the same time and mailed together with all the required filing fees and supporting documentation to the same filing location. They will also be considered concurrently filed if the adjustment of status application (Form I-485) is filed after the immigrant visa petition but while the immigrant visa petition remains pending.

Is it possible to submit the 1-130 online and then subsequently submit the I-485 and other forms on paper by mail? Does anyone have experience with this? Would there be drawbacks compared to a purely paper submission that could all be mailed at once?

I have a strong proclivity towards online submission, and am more comfortable operating by digital files and forms rather than snail mail. But I don't want to complicate an already complicated process. Any advice?

Does anyone know a lawyer or someone I could use to help with the process of getting my foreign divorce recognized? I was married in the Philippines and had the divorce done in the US and I'm wanting to marry a Filipina and 've considered going to somewhere like Seychelles to get married instead of doing it in Philippines (Dumagette) to go around having to do this, but if there is a service I can use that will send my decree and get it done then I would like to do that so the entire ceremony can be done in the Philippines for the family.

If a USC has been living abroad with spouse and the spouse gets a IR1/CR1 visa - and assuming neither has gotten vaccinated yet - what steps do they need to take to protect themselves financially in case either one or both catch covid on the way to the US or immediately upon entry, and has not yet had a chance to obtain health insurance coverage?

Is there a way they can buy insurance that does cover treatment/hospitalization for covid just right before they enter the US?

For context, our case is at NVC and haven t paid the fees yet. When we do move forward with the fees and IV application depends on whether we can get covered in case of infection upon entering the US (or if we can get a vaccine before going there). Lots of moving parts and unknowns, so I ve been sitting on the case until things clear up.

Last thing I want is to bring my family to the US, get infected before buying insurance, and rack up a huge medical bill.

Thanks in advance (and please no covid-related politics).

Hi everyone,
MY wife came here on a K1 visa and she recently got approval for a green card . While waiting for her green card to arrive, I'm wondering if you guys have any experience of updating the SSN by mail during covid since all the SSA offices are closed right now. I know I have to send in the original green card with the new SSN application. I'm afraid it may get lost during the mail-in process. Should I wait for the SSA office to open back up? or am I worry too much ?.
Thanks in advance for the help.
