Hi, I am in a dilemma. I just submitted my change of status application to vermont for a H1-F1 because I will start school this fall. And then my spouse's labor got approved after two-year wait. I want to maintain my independent status and NOT to file together with him the 140/485 application.
My thinking is after his 140 gets approved then I can follow to join his application since the 140 will take so long , nobody will know what will happen.
But my spouse's attorney said if I file later than his, BCIS will not join my app to his and make me ineligible for the green card. Is the attorny right? or just plain inexperienced?
Do I need to explain to BCIS if I do file later than my spouse?
thanks a million for any advice.
