H1B marrying US Citizen - Concurrent Filling I-130, I-864, I-485, I-765

[tanu_mukherjee]

Hello Experts ,

I am a full time employee on H1B visa currently, expiring on Feb 10, 2015 (2 and half months from now). I got married to US citizen last month only. I have all the paperwork done, I hope to get some answers here.

I am thinking not to apply for H1B extension and directly apply for GC through marriage. I know it takes like 4-6 months after the application sent. I-765 takes up to 90 days etc. I have some basic questions as follow:

1. Can I apply for GC now OR It must have to apply before the 90 days expiration of H1B? Asking this considering I have 2.5 months left in my H1B.
2. Will I be eligible to work after H1B expiration with i-765 pending?
3. I know i-765 could take up to 90 days to get approved. Any idea, how long does it take to have EAD card in hand? Is it possible I can get EAD card within 2.5 months (in ideal scenario)?

Thank you in advance!

Your wife has to complete an I-130, to be filed with your I-485, I-765 and I-131.

Your wife also has to include an I-864 with supporting income and tax filing documents.

Fees are $420 and $1,070.
