Now that that is done Mod hat off.
I'm glad you found VJ because there are a few things here that can get you in trouble and end up with a ban to the US. You cannot work in the US while you're on vacation/visiting your wife. It is illegal and if the border agents ever catch wind that you have done so previously or plan to do it again you will be banned. That will also add a lot more time to your immigration journey. While visiting you need to do just that visit. No working, it does not matter if your company allows you to be remote, the US does not allow their visitors to work while on US soil without the proper visa.
Planning to AOS is also illigal and if the border catches even a glimpse of this they will ban you and you guessed it cause more time for your legal immigration.
