Submit form I-485 without I-130 approval?
Permanent resident husband (based in the US now) filed for my F2A form I-130 in 03/2021. Final action date for my country (Philippines) is Current.
Haven't received an approval notice yet.
I've read that I-485 can be filed concurrently with I-130 in some cases, but what would be the best course of action if there is no approval yet? Should we wait for approval before filing I-485?
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

looking for advice
My PERM and I-140 was filed in a location A. Ready to file I-485 but am currently in location B. My H1B / LCA permits me to work in both locations. 485 will be filed with location A as primary worksite.
Does it raise red flags if I take my biometrics and potential interview in location B given the job is tied to location A. I would be listing location B as the primary residence address at the time of filing. I really would like to not travel to location A in the pandemic with the whole family. My wife has had a full time job in location B so I used to travel between the two locations for the last couple of years. I understand the obligation to move to location A post 485 approval which I am happy to do. Thanks in advance.
Interview Next Month
Hi guys,
So my husband is a US citizen with a US passport. However, he was born in Europe and we don't have his birth certificate. Is his US passport enough to bring to the 485 interview? He became a US citizen 10 years ago. Our 130 was already approved back in April. I have my foreign birth certificate and foreign passport. Thanks!
Student Visa renew vs EB2
I need to renew my F1 visa (student) and I applied for a EB2 visa through the i140 form. Does anybody here know if this could be an issue for my student Visa approval?
Also, in order to renew my student Visa I need to travel back to my country, anybody know if this could also be a problem to my process?
Lastly, if my student visa is denied, my current visa will be still valid? At least until the expiration date right? Thank you very much.
Anyone here that can help out ? I don’t know where to start and what’s next to do
I would love to know if anyone has the same response as myself, no response since my sister filled in for me since 2014

Please help! GC holder filing for spouse
Hi! I am a GC holder and my spouse is overseas in India. She has a approved B1/B2 visa valid for ten years. I want to sponsor her green card and want her to be here in USA. Should I call her to USA on a B1/B2 visa or should I have her apply for F1 student visa. The only benefit with student visa from what I am told is that there will be no time crunch issue. With B1/B2 it’s a tight timeline with 90 day rule and then you have 90 days to file her application and get a receipt? Can anyone share how long does it takes to receive the receipt after applying I130 and I 485?

Biometrics
Today makes officially 7 months since I filed my application for adjustment of status. I see people who filed after me had their interview and people filed in August already had biometrics done. I'm happy people are getting results, its just disheartening waiting for biometrics for 7 months and still can't get one. Any January filers still waiting for their biometric appointment notice?
