Why would there be consular processing on H1B?

Immigration lawyer at Coane & Associates, PLLC
I would not want to speculate but maybe the start date is after your status expires, or maybe you are mis-reading it, etc. There are many possibilities. I would need to see the actual paperwork.

Do I have to file both Form I-485 and I-130 together and does her passport have to be current?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
There is no legal requirement to concurrently file the I-130 and I-485 applications - sometimes people have reasons to file the I-130 and await its approval before filing the I-485 Application for Adjustment of Status (to get a "Green Card"), but without a sufficient reason (such as applying in a visa category for which an immigrant visa is not "immediately available"), the two applications should be filed together. Our firm advises clients to have a valid, current passport for use in the application process, since the USCIS generally asks for this to confirm travel and re-entry dates through the date of application approval, but sometimes there are practical reasons for not doing so (such as where one must travel overseas to obtain a renewal). It would be wise for you and your daughter to consult with an immigration attorney, who, after learning all of the relevant information about your family, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies for your daughter, and could offer legal representation for the application process - which often is significantly more complex than it might appear.

City and state Search GC filing - Eb1 category - Spouse last name in birth certificate and passport are different

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Looking at your fact situation, the grandfather’s name appears to be in the position of almost the middle name, so the way it looks is that your spouse has a first and last name on the birth paper. That may be good enough for most immigration examiners. I suggest that if you can, you should have the birth certificate name also entered on her passport.
