Please help and advise, I am desperate.

I am an Indian citizen working on H1B. I had employment based EB3 green card applied couple of years back. My I485 was applied in CSC
june 2002 WAC-02-212-xxxx. My fingerprints expired and I was scheduled
for second fingerprint on july 8, 2004. However realizing that I can expect green card soon after second fingerprinting given the approval rates, and
the fact that I am single and hoping to get married to a girl in India soon, I delayed my second FP, first by writing to USCIS to reschedule and second time by going to application service center and requesting them to reschedule because of a cut on my thumb. They had given me time till oct 8th (I havent had my fingerprints taken yet and only hope my case is not
abandoned but I am currently planning on getting second FP done on oct 7th), however I am still not married and very likely to get married end of october, my date of marriage is constrainted both because of
shradh season and non-availability of visa appointment. I am scared that if I get FP done on oct 7th, my GC may get approved before my marriage date,
or it may get approved before I get visa at delhi consulate, or in any case if it gets approved before I enter US with my wife, I am scared about her legal
status because she will be H4 derivative of my H1 which will be invalid from the day I get GC approved. I am depererately seeking your help, please advise on what I should do in the current circumstances and save
both my green card and marriage. Please help asap.

thanks in advance
 
Your best bet( if you already got a girl and planning to get married in Nov), go to India immediately after your second Fp and get "register married" to her after explaining the situation to your future in-laws. Then bring her to US(let someone from her family accompany you if they are worried) and file 485 and go back to India and get married formally. If you wait for a month, you will get approved and will repent for a long long time.
 
what is "home consulate accepts attorney certified 140"?

Thanks alot for the response. I am not sure what you mean by "home consulate accepts attorney certified 140". How can I find out if Delhi consulate honors it?
 
I hope you did not cut your thumb on purpose.

Both register marriage or switching to consular processing are great ideas. New Delhi consulate accepts AC140 (Attornety Certified I-140) unlike Chennai consulate. Whatever path you choose, you must have a marriage certificate dated before your I-485 approval date.
 
cant do CP

unfortunately I changed jobs (not by choice but because of layoff) and I need to use AC21 which I believe is not applicable to CP. So am I correct in understanding that CP is not an option for me?
