Hi -
I am currently on h1b visa approved until 2009. I have just recently started the process of GC and in the recruiting stages of PERM. As soon as my PERM gets approved i am going to apply for I485 and I140 concurrently. I just recently got engaged to a girl in Pakistan and soon be married. Given all the security check delays that take place if you apply in any embassy for an H1b re-stamp i am not willing to take any risk of getting stuck out of US for a long time and potentially loose my job. I am planning to travel back home for my wedding on advance parole (once i get it) and bring my wife back on H1b with me. The question is if i have already applied for Change of Status and bring my spouse back with me on H1b how and when would i apply for my spouse change of status from h1b to green card given that i have already applied for my change of status?
Any help or clarification will be appreciated.
Thanks
