Filing i-130 and i-485 together

[Debchayan 0]

I am a permanent resident filing for my wife who is already in F1. Since f2a category is all current in latest visa bulletin, she is also eligible for Adjustment of Status-i 485. But I am having hard time to understand what is the advantage of filing i-485 as she still has to wait for i-130 approval. Will she get an EAD+AP until i-130 gets approved and interview scheduled?

Do you want to adjust or go through Consular Processing.

Is it possible to get green card even if the i130 not approved yet

No, that happens at the adjustment of status interview (i485).

Yah, so will she be called for an interview while her i-130 still waiting for approval?

Interview for adjustment of status. Thanks, yah I have read them but I am not understanding how filing an i-485 concurrently will help her even if she has to wait for approval of i-485

I 485 is what makes the adjustment process happen, no I 485 no adjustment.
