My case is a bit complicated and I would like to gain some advice if you have. I am currently on H1B, which will expire in December 2016 and can't be extended with the current employer. I submitted my I-140/I-485 November last and they are still pending (sigh) and USCIS said that they will give me a response by Nov 19th. I am recently married to a US citizen (my boyfriend of two years,) and we thinking to file I-130. My concerns are now:
1. How would I-130 affect I-140 as well as the I-485 application associated with each GC application?
2. Realistically I think we can send out the 130/485 package in early Nov and the approval process usually takes a few months. Since my H1B will expire in Dec, how can I maintain my legal stay in the US while 130/485 is pending after Dec?
3. My husband read through all instructions for I-130/485 and thought we only needed to submit my current visa (H1B) as part of required documents. I have been in US on various visas (F1, EAD, J1, and H1B) for a long time. To my knowledge, I think we need to submit a copy of all my visas with the application. Can anyone clarify for us?
