How do we find that out?  We are in Las Vegas.  The Phoenix office gives 13.5 months processing for 80% of cases.

 

If you're in Las Vegas then that'll be your Field Office I assume, but check on the link above.

If we switch to Consular processing, can we continue to visit the USA during the process?  That might work better for us with I-485 processing being so slow, although advance parole would work too I guess.

Yes....at the discretion of CBP at the border.

Are we supposed to tell them about the spousal immigration application being in progress without being asked when we cross the border?  We haven't mentioned it on previous crossings (have crossed border 6 times since first applying), and they haven't asked us.  Or just if they ask us?

How long does the I-485 adjustment of status take?  We just worry about leaving our house there vacant for an extended period.  Husband's family is all in the US and I have no kids, the rest of my family can come visit me if they miss me, ha!

ours was 21 months from filing the 485.

Does anyone know how long Consular processing takes compared to the I-485?  (We're coming from Canada).

The critical timeline for Adjusting status it the time it takes for Advance Parole, and EAD, which is more like six months.  With those, he would be able to work and be re-admitted to the USA until the I-485 is processed.  You are in this situation because you didn't do  your homework the first time.  Be sure you do it now, before making further decisions.  You've come to the right place for help, but YOU must do the homework yourself.
