2 people on separate H1Bs sponsored by their respective firms. If they get married to each other then one gets a greencard through their work first, does the other automatically get it too with working authorization? What’s a smart way to approach? It’s a Canadian- Korean combo.

After marriage yes the spouse too gets green card. When i485 is applied, spouse & dependent kids also are applied together

Yes, assuming the adjustment of status was filed after the marriage.
Since country of birth doesn't seem to be an issue, I would think the first person with the opportunity to file should file while both maintain their h1bs.

The green card through marriage process sis different when marrying a GC holder vs marrying a citizen.
Marrying a citizen will give you work auth immediately, marrying a GC holder, you have to wait until they get their GC before you can apply for work auth

If you are already married, when you file 485, you file for both. That is it. If you plan on getting married later, process is different.

actually what happens if one person gets the GC first before marriage?

You can even use the best of priority date and country of birth among each other to get GC faster

Even to this day, I feel like I have crippling anxiety and imposter syndrome when speaking. It’s easier in project read outs and dedicated client meetings, but much worse when I’m going in cold or without a set agenda. Has anyone worked with / used a coach, tools, etc. to help with this? Recommendations?
