My H1 is expiring soon. I am applying for I-140 now. My lawyer told me that I can't apply I-485 concurently with I-140 because there is no available visa #. Is that true?
Since I don't have much time left on my H1, should I need to file extension? Please corrent me if I am wrong, I heard that once I file my I-485, I don't need to be on H1 anymore although it's not approved yet.
If I need to file for extension, how much does it cost? I am planning to do this on my own. I check USBIS website, it seems very unclear about the filing fee.
Anyone have any experience about this, could you please share this with me. Thank you so much for your time.
