If I have recently applied for H1B which might take a few months to get approved, can I also file for greencard at the same time through my US citizen wife?
Would my existing H1B application affect the application for greencard?

No, it would not. H is a non-immigrant visa and it does NOT cross paths with your GC app based on marriage to US Citizen. It take about 3-5 months to get a GC after we file. I would be glad to help - email me directly to [email protected]
