She will! Do you not have the approval letter? There's a form tou can file to request a copy but you'll have to pay for it

You do not need an approval letter; however, you do need the receipt notice of Form I-130 in order to submit Forms I-485, I-765, and I-131. If your spouse is a green card holder, then you cannot submit Form I-485 until your priority date is current (filing date).
Here is the instruction for Form I-485: If an immigrant visa is immediately available, you may file your Form I-485 together with your Form I-130, while Form I-130 is pending, or after your Form I-130 is approved.
And honestly, if your lawyer does not know this, you may want to reconsider whether they are the right person to handle your case.

my husband is an born American, and I will tell him to go ahead and send in the rest of my documents! when you don’t have the right information people really take advantage of you.

will I get the approval letter when my case is approved?

@roxy R why didn’t she just file concurrently any great lawyer knows that’s how you file if you’re in the us

are you sure your lawyer is actually a lawyer? the answer is directly in the forms filing instructions, any lawyer should be aware of the most basic things.
