What are my options for marrying someone in India and bringing her to US after my I-140/I-485/I-765/I-131 is filed? I am on H1B Visa which expires in Jan 2005.
 
get married in india and bring her on h4.

stamping h4 visa takes 3-6 months provided there were no issues or concerns by the consular offices.

with your h1 validity its better you get married as soon as possible and get her on h4.

you have to file her i485 immediately she lands in usa (before the expiry of h1 - jan xx 2005).

act fast.
 
If your H1 expired, your fiance can't qualify for H4. So she will need to come to US using some other route (H1 etc - don't forget about the cap), marry you, file for her 485, all before the short window to add spouse to your application closes.

If there's very little time left on your H1, then it may be a problem getting a H4 visa based on your almost-finished H1.

If you have any choice at all, you should get her here, say in the next 1-2 months

If you cannot get her 485 to join yours before the window to do so closes, she'll be subject to a looong delay, something probably best avoided.
