During the month of June, when the dates were announced in July Bulletin, that all the EB are CURRENT, we were prepared to apply. But my wife has some health issues and after the July2nd news, she left to India for Treatment. As per doctors now she can't travel till end of August. My questions are:
1) If I apply for my I-485, at what stage in I-485 can i add my wife as a dependant so she also gets her EAD and AP along with me?
2) Somewhere on the internet, I have seen that I can apply for my spouse's Green card 180 days after my Green card approval also as long as we were married before my I-485 was applied. Is this true? Can someone please confirm?
3) Curretnly my wife is on H-1B and she still has 5more years on it. Can I apply for her I-485 once the dates open up again?

Please advice as what are the best options?

Well, if you apply for 485 now and keep your wife's name in there, and since she will be able to travel in early september, you will probably get the FP notice around that time.
Also, if she stays in india for long, you can add her into you 485 and opt for CP, this way she will get GC from india once your 485 is adjudicated.
Hope it helps.
