FTJ and Preconceived Intent
background- Both my spouse and I are Canadian Citizens, but we living on different sides of the border. I live in the US, going for GC via H1B/TN.
If we file for I-485 using FTJ option, how many months prior to filing must she be a resident of the US so that she wont be scrutinized for Preconceived Intent?

What is this H4/TD business. Is she entering in H-4, or TD?

Will most likely be getting the TN for myself (TD for her) and try for the H1B next year. So for the sake of argument lets say I have H1B and she has H4.
The reason Im asking this question is... I want to know whens the latest she can move down. Since she cant work on a TD/or H4, if she moves down too soon there will be a huge period in income gap while shes waiting for the FTJ.
Technically, FTJ and I485 are mutually exclusive, but from your post, I understand you want to go through AOS for your spouse too.
The latest she can come is when she applies I485.
If she applied I485 after your GC got approved(if ths is what you expect by referring to FTJ), only choice is FTJ which is consular process.
