I am on H1 status and filed my I485 on Feb 2000. I recently got married and my wife is expecting her H1 from a different company. Either of us are not very keen in her working.

Which is better?

Bringing her on H4 and amend her to my I485? What are the pros and cons in this situation? (like how much delay this would cause to my I485 approval?).

--Is there any possibility that my GC gets adjudicated before i file for her amendment.

Bringing her on H1 and amend her to my I485? What are the pros and cons in this situation?
Also she is planning to apply three months vacation (without pay) immediately after coming to the US and joining the company. (This would give her some time to adjust to the new country). Will that be a problem while amending her as she won\'t have any pay stub at that time?

Bringing her on H1 and not amend her? Basically wait till i get my permanent residence and then apply for her Permanent residence based on me. How long does this process takes? What are the pros and cons?
 
Hello,

I am in the same boat with you. Can you please let me know what you have decided about this?
