Marriage while I485 is pending
Hi All. My EAD & AP got approved last week. I expect that I485 may get approved in a couple of months. I485 status is CRP.
Considering all this, if I marry before I485 approval, then how it works for my husband? Will he be automatically fall under my status (CRP?) or should he start from scratch?
Incredible timeline for us 🙌🏼🥲
We were ready for a VERY long wait considering overstay and DIY (no lawyer), but this has been the best Valentine’s day surprise ever!
EAD Approved in Documents Tab on 02/02, I-130 was approved in petitioner’s Documents tab 24hrs before I-485 did.

Doing taxes, question?
My wife and I got married abroad this past fall 2023. She is waiting to come to USA. When filing taxes, I file as married. Since she is not in USA, do I include her in my taxes or not? She has a SSN from time in USA before from her exchange stay. I was just wondering if it's needed for NVC later or not. If anyone might know, I appreciate it? Thanks!
