Filing for I-485 while on F-1

[visitor1592]

I recently got married and would like to include my wife who is on a student visa on my I-485 application. Is it possible to do this or can someone on F-1 visa not file for I-485 even if she is married to another person on H-1B? Please advise.

yes

you can include her on your 485 application. She will no longer be on F-1 visa thereafter. She will be considered an adjustee and in a legal status. She can get EAD and can use it to work anywhere for any type of job along with continuing the study. She will also be exempt from taking minimum courses as an F-1. Update International Office of School with the 485 application once you receive the receipt notice.
