Thanks for all your help. My most important questions have been
answered. It's weird that 4th category applicants (as of now) would have
current priority dates, but 3rd category applicants don't. I guess I
will have to shoot for EB-2. It's worth a try. One more question: If I
include my fiance and future wife in my I-140, can she stay in the US
and apply for an EAD until we file I-485? In other words, once she is in
H-4 status which will be very soon, can she file I-765 and work while my
I-140 is pending and - once it is approved - as long as I wait for my
priority date to become current?
Thanks,
Matin
