1. File I-130 & I-485 concurrently, most of people would do this way.

 

2. He leaves and you file I-130, he will be interviewed in his original country.

What's the procedure for filing I-130 & I-485 concurrently? Plz guide me  from ground zero About all the details

File the Spousal Visa package and the AOS package together.  Follow the guides here and include the I-944.  Include the "optional" forms.

 

He can stay in the US.

And don't do the medical yet - do it when they send you a "courtesy letter" closer to the interview.

I-130= $535

I-485+ biometrics= $1225

I-864= depends on the civil surgeon.

What is procedure of filing visit visa, for people in living in US already? As my husband is here on H1B but his firm laid him off due to covid-19 now his firm's immigration lawyer has given us an option/advice to file for visit visa by the end of his 60 days grace period if in the meantime no new employer sponsors him again, 

so once he files for his visit visa his stay in US becomes legal and he can continue his job hunt here n get H1b

 

kindly guide me through visit visa process, Thankyou

What is your current status?

[SusieQQQ 11,587]

It’s not a visa (a visa is a form you use to enter the US with), it’s change of status. I539 form. He probably won’t get a response before his 60 days is up, it’s usually 4+ months processing time.
