H1-B to Adjustment of Status (Green card) processing/through spouse

[Guddin]

Hello,

I am working in US with my f1-CPT (similar to OPT). Curtrently my H1B (2018 H-1B ) is selected for further processing for stamping, applied by my company.

I recently got married and my wife is a citizen. Question is: Can I apply Adjustment of Status now or I have to wait till the H1b stamping is done?

Thank you all in advance.

Sure, you can apply now, but be aware that starting from the date your Adjustment of Status application is received, you cannot leave the US until you receive the Advanced Parole since leaving the US means you're abandoning the AOS. It could take up to 4 months to get the Advanced Parole card.
