Married for several years -- USC with a Canadian Spouse, with an approved i-130 but due to various reasons did not proceed to NVC stage.
We have regularly visited family in the US (including after i-130 approved), but always returned to our home in Canada. However, we are currently in the US and due to unexpected family circumstances find ourselves seriously considering AOS.
How long do we need to be in the US to apply for AOS?
Does NVC need to be notified if we did not proceed to any stages with them ( fees, etc )?
Does having an approved i-130 cause any concerns for this route? Do we need a lawyer?
When adjustment of status i-485 is filed, should I-131 (travel authorization/advanced parole) and I-765 (work authorization) be done at the same time?
Are there current processing times for i-485, i-131, i-765 available to follow online, or do they depend on individual offices and/or case details?
Thanks in advance!
