I'm on an H1B visa. Last year I married a US citizen. I have decided to get a Green Card rather than renew my H1B, however before I get my Green Card how should i file my taxes? Can I file jointly as a married couple or because I'm on an H1B do we have to file separately?

I have a few questions:

(1) My wife is currently on her F-visa and is using her OPT while working on the east coast. We live together, etc. I was wondering if filing will affect her ability to continue working. Will filing the i-130 and 1-485 prevent her from working? If it does, is there...
