    I-485 Cross Chargeability Spouse not present

Have her walk down to nearest US Consulate or Embassy and explain the maybe they might...

    Immigration help for spouse who is a Canadian Citizen

    And I don't think USCBP would let her in United States now that she got married to US citizen and is presumed immigrant. If you want to meet her you have to drive or fly to Canada. You need to file I-130/A, I-864, DS-260

    H1-B approved with Consulate notified - filling Unlawful presence

    During these filings at some point USCIS determined that there was status violation so therefore no I-94 was issued. At this time you have no choice but to step out re-enter with H-1B visa. The sooner you leave the better it would be for you.

    How to update a I-140 number in I-485 form

    You need to interfile & let USCIS know that your pending I-485 should be tied to approved I-140. Find out I-485 service center & notify them of approved I-140. Interfiling is sometimes automatic but it is good idea to notify USCIS before they deny I-485 since it was associated with denied I-140.
