Hello,
I have been in US for more than a decade and have been working on H1B for a long time. My employer did file for my GC process under EB2 in 2009 and my case has priority date of Feb 2009. I have got my EAD / AP in 2014 and I did get Biometric exam appointment letter from USCIS in Nov 2014. I did go for the appointment and got my biometric exam (finger printing) done. However, the date retrogressed and since then I have renewed EAD/AP 2 times . This year I got married to a US Citizen. I had few questions about it:
1. I was wondering if I can file GC under marriage based process.
2. If I file under marriage based GC, then what happens to the pending I-485 from my employer?
3. What are the pros and cons of filing marriage based GC at this stage of my already filed GC process from my employer (pending I-485)?
Thanks
PRS
