It's only been a week. Relax.

There's no hard and fast rule. They look at the totality of your presence and make a determination based on that. What do you think an immigration lawyer will provide, beyond a bill? Their opinions have no legal weight.

Since he is married to a US citizen and entered with a visa (you have a copy of the old I-94, right?) he can adjust status. He should NOT depart the US until the GC is in hand.

The attorney is... timid. Actually, that's the most polite description I have for the attorney. If you have a copy of the O-1 approval notice, you can file an I-539 yourself and request a change of status. Until you have the approval, I wouldn't do anything. What intent issue? Intent can...

A few weeks. Sure.

Yes. This is only way to get them a Green Card.

You're really expecting an answer after 8 years? Self-employment in H status is prohibited.

To try and turn things in a more constructive direction, what problems did you encounter when filling out the G-639, vivianibaehr?

I'd get citizenship ASAP. Failing that, if you can get the documentation, do the N600K. I don't think there will be a problem with the child entering the US; believe it or not CBP aren't completely heartless and don't deny entrance to newborns.

No I-485 can be filed, since his wife is out of status.

How long will you have been absent from the US?

If you're actually residing in the US, there is little to no risk. What are you really worried about?

Unless your wife qualifies for 245i benefits she is ineligible to file an I-485 until you become a citizen. I'd wait until you become a citizen then file the I-485.

Goodbye. one account only, please.

There's no urgency to notify SSA unless you're about to claim benefits.

I expect that the 3/10-3/11 trips broke continuous residence - I would apply 4 years + 1 day after 03/13/11.

If over the last 30 months you spend only a few weeks in the US I think you'll have a hard time claiming you're maintained residence unless you work as an international airline pilot or an import/export rep.

No waiver is needed, since the inadmissibility has ceased.

It's not true. A >6 month absence has certain implications regarding naturalization and inadmissibility, but there's no ramifications to taking >180 days out of the US in a given calendar year, assuming it's spread into several smaller absences.
