Concurrent Filing? [split topic]

The beneficiary - my spouse is not planning to overstay because she still has 2-3 years more to study. And the visa bulletin of “Date for Filing” chart is Current for F2A for April 2023 -
I’m sorry but I’m confused. Why do you specify consular processing when the beneficiary is already in the U.S? Isn’t consular process for beneficiaries outside of the US?

thank you. I see it. I asked an experienced lawyer and he said no way a LPR can file concurrently but I find a lot of people file F2A concurrently online. Do you think it will be better to find concurrently or standalone I-130? We have 3-4 years ahead to wait so we are considering either options

The earliest I can file my N-400 is Nov 2026 so I think it's best to sponsor my wife now under F2A. I ask some people and they all say LPR can only file I-130 first for their spouse, then when it got approved (probably 2-3 years), file I-485, I-765, and I-131. But from what I read on USCIS website, it's based on the Date for Filing Chart. And it's current for F2A as of April 2023. So basically I can file all 4 forms together. That's why I'm confused.

So we are good in our situation right? And I think the F2A can take up to 4 years from now. So my wife would plan to study for her Master degree after finishing her Bachelor's, and apply for OPT in the next few years to keep her legit status while we're waiting for the F2A. Is there any issue with this?

No. She came to the US under F-1 visa in 2018. We met in 2020 and been living together since then. We married in March 2023 and I'm preparing to file for her in April 2023. I'm just confused about the concurrent filing. But why did you ask this question? Does it affect on the process? Please advise, thank you. I'm LPR since Feb 2022.

I'm (LPR) applying to sponsor my wife (F1 student, already in the U.S) in April 2023, so F2A. Concurrent filing means that I can file I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131 for my wife right? Thank you in advance.
