Send the rest too!! You'll get EAD so you can work anywhere and AP to travel Plus it'll be faster to get GC, because I-130 and I-485 are done in same time. Now you separate them out and it'll take twice more time.

before advising to file I-485, you should ask if the original poster is in the US. Because if she isn't, she can't file I-485.

Oh, I assumed so (she said "while being in US"). But you are right, consular processing is different.
 
I am actually in US since my husband filled the petition.
will there be any problem with if the petitionner doesn t work anymore but supported by his parents.
 
You can use co-sponsor (first), and assets (second). If by the time of interview you'll have a good job you can serve as self-sponsor.
 
since you are in the States (legally, I presume?), you should file I-485 with applications for EAD, with a copy of your notice of receipt for I-130 attached.
That's unless you are planning to do consular processing.

What is your current status in the US?
 
I came with my british passeport(visa waiver 90 days) , my status is still pending

what do u mean by consular processing??
 
that's exactly what it means - consular processing - getting an immigrant visa at a consulate abroad instead of adjusting status in the US.

Double check if visa waiver country's citizens are eligible to file I-485

1) Citizens of Visa Waiver countries are allowed to file I-485s.
2) People who enter via the Visa Waiver are eligible to file an I-485, only if they are adjusting on the basis of marriage to a US citizen.
