Congratulations on your marriage!

The I-130 alone is not enough. Your wife (not you) is the one who shall submit Application for adjustment of status, Form I-485, and all other supporting applications. All applications and petitions with supporting documents and forms shall be prepared and submitted together/concurrently for proper and fast resolution.

Hi,

All sponsorship paperwork including I-130 and I-485 must be filed concurrently in order for your wife to receive employment authorization as well as resident status in the U.S. Her H1B visa status allows for intention to immigrate to the U.S. and thus the sponsorship through marriage will not cause a conflict with her current H1B visa status.

You can call our law firm at 212-268-3580 during business hours, or email info@h1b1.com for guidance.

You have to submit both I-130 and I-485 in order for your wife to obtain a permanent resident status in the U.S.
