I am a Canadian permanent resident and my wife is a US-born and raised citizen. She applied for my I-130 petition in May 2023. This application is under process. However, I do have the B1/B2 visa stamped before the I-130 petition submission around March 2023. I am currently in the USA for Christmas and going back to Canada in January. However, I want to live in the US with my family but as you know I need to go back and forth to Canada as my current status is a visitor (B1/B2).
I understand that I can apply for I-485 and advance parole while my I-130 application is under process. However, I am worried about not jeopardizing or slowing down the current process of I-130 application. If I choose to go back to Canada and come to meet my family let's say one month every 4-to 5 months in a year will be a good idea to keep my application conventional (as it is without applying for I-485 and I-131) VS If stay in the US while waiting for the I-485 and I-130 is processed? Please share your expert opinion if there is any chance of jeopardizing or slowing down the process If I choose the I-485 path and stay in the USA. Your suggestion will be appreciated.
