8老师， 您好！

我自己的绿卡排期看样子快到了。 我爱人还在国内。我的H1B extension 还没有批，也不知什么时候批下来， 所以也没法给我爱人申请签证立刻回美。

-You can use premium processing to get the H-1B extension approved in 15 days if you want to. Of course, you need to pay the premium processing fee of $2,805 if your employer do not agree pay it.

如果，在我的H1B EXTENSION 批之前，我的绿卡排期到了，我必须立刻申请我本人的绿卡，那我爱人怎么办？

-You can file I-485 by yourself and then, your spouse can apply for the H-4 visa to come back after your H-1B extension is approved. Then, he can file I-485 by providing the copy of your I-485 Receipt Notice.

If he is present in China when your I-485 is approved, you need to file I-824 for him to apply for the immigrant visa to come back to become a green card holder using following to join benefits.

是不是他的状态就变成为 “永久居民的配偶”？如果是这种情况，我该怎么办？ 那他还能回美吗？如果可以，我该给他申请什么签证？

-See above.
