pros and cons on F-1 vs H-4

[nirav284]

My fiance is on F-1 Visa right now in USA. I am curerently holding H-1 visa. We are getting married after 1 month. After marriage she will come on either H-4 or continue on F-1. I want to know according to current situations and laws of us immigration, what status is more beneficial and good for both of us? In terms of her study, fees, OPT period and her job?
I am filing my GC after marriage, can I include her name in GC process as my dependent in the beginning? I guess no but correct me. As per my knowledge I can include her after my I-485 gets cleared. By that time she will be on H-1, can I still add her as my dependent while she is on H-1?
Thnks a lot for ur replies.

-------------------to know the lawys of US immigration you need to take the advice of lawyer who practice US immigration law.
what status is more beneficial and good for both of us? In terms of her study, fees, OPT period and her job?

--------------If you get married and she is on H4/H1 status then she can file her derivative I-485, EAD, AP when you file your I-485 and both can file I-485 at same time.
By that time she will be on H-1, can I still add her as my dependent while she is on H-1?
-----------------------yes. what do you mean by "add"? If you are married at the time when you file your I-485 then she is your wife and she can file her derivative I-485 with your I-485. For more info talk to your lawyer.
