Thank you very much for everybody who answered my first question. Here is my next. In the end of March I filed my and my wife’s I-130 petition. May I file I 485 form while my I-130 is still pending? I am inside the country. Overstayed for more then 10 years. I Got married on American citizen year ago. In January got arrested by immigration. Released on bond in March. My master hearing was scheduled in 2 weeks after release. And I filed I-130 just to have something to show to the judge. But they moved master hearing for one year. I didn't file both (I-130+I-485) together because simply didn't have money by that time. But ready now. Than ya all in advance for advice.

You can file your I-485 with the immigration court if you have a pending, and available I-130 visa petition.
