PERM approved.. have few questions

[Nilla]

My husband received the approval for his perm this morning and I know the next step is the I140 but i think they are going to do I140 &I485 at the same time. Does that speed things up?

1.If he applies for concurrent I140 & I485 , shall i apply at the same time.

2.If 1-485 is filled ,can i leave the country [ I am planning to go on 8 weeks FMLA]

3.My husband also planning to travel in January , is there a chance for RFE if he is out of country for 3 1/2 weeks.

Any input is appreciated.

1. Yes

2. Once you have the AP.

3. He also needs the AP or a valid H1

You can and should file your own I-485 when your husband files his. Generally, Advance Parole application is submitted with I-485. If you need to travel before the AP is approved, you (or your husband) can use a valid H1/H4 or L visa. RFEs are given a response timeframe which is generally at least 30 days, and can be as long as 90 days. Initial RFEs usually come ~2 months after filing. Assuming you have a lawyer, you don't really need to worry about RFEs.
