Your facts are time-sensitive. As a matter of law, you can file an I-130 petition for her. Under the circumstances, you should also file I-485 simultaneously with I-130. In addition, after I-130/I-485 are filed within 45 days after your entry into the U.S., but within 45 days before her B1/B2 visa expires, she can file for extension of her visa for another 6 months.

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If you change status to H-1B, your wife should be able to obtain a work permit since you already have an approved I-140 petition. If your H-1B work is along the same lines with the same I-140 petitioner, there should be no impact on your permanent residence. If the H-1B work is with another organization, USCIS may be curious to know whether you actually intend to work for the sponsoring employer upon obtaining your permanent residence.

Will marrying an immigrant who is out of status affect me?

Answered by attorney Carlos E. Sandoval
Immigration lawyer at Carlos E. Sandoval, P.A.
It depends how you are being petitioned. If it's a petition from your parents it could affect since it could remove you from the category under which you qualify for the residency. Otherwise, it shouldn't have and impact on you.
