Is This Possible ?

My lawyer has just told me that he could apply for EB-3 for me. I have H2B visa valid until November 12,2005.

He said something what I really do not understand : If he files the PERM petition -> it will take max. 60 days to get approval -> during these 60 days my visa must be valid; after he gets an approval form DOL he can file I-140 & I-485 & I-765 & I-131 TOGETHER and - even if it takes a few years to get a Green Card - I will be legally in the USA, because I-485 will be pending.

For me it sounds like a joke. How is it possible to be legally if my visa will expire? Will I have any problems to get GC later?

But the most important for me is if that is the truth that he can file I-140 & I-485 TOGETHER. Everyone says the visas numbers must be current and then I can file I-485 and even if I file I-485 I must be ALL THE TIME LEGALLY if I want to get a GC?

Please help me ....

Being in a pending adjustment of status (I-485 pending) keeps you in status. If your other work authorization expires during this time, you also need to get a I-765 to work however.
I believe if you are from China/India/Philippines, you can no longer file concurrently (I-140/I-485 together).

but how is it possible to file I-140 & I-485 TOGETHER ? I read that you can not do that if the visas numbers are not current... How can I know if the visa's number is current ?
 
I am form Russia - can I do that together?

So when I get an approval form DOL I can - with no problems - file I-140 & I-485, I-765 together ?

Thanks for help ...
