Hi there,
I am a permanent resident and I applied for my wife's I 130 in November of 2009. It has been approved last week and we got a letter asking us to apply for I 485. I have a couple of questions.
1)My wife is currently on her F1. Once she applies for her 485, what will her legal status be if she gives up her F1 status? Will she still be considered legal? I already checked the September bulletin. She is eligible to apply for 485.
2)Also, I am anticipating that I will be a citizen in the next 2 to 3 months. Will there be any benefit in my wife applying as a Citizen's spouse vs a GC holder's spouse given that I 130 has already been approved and 485 is current?
Thanks.
