Has anyone filed i-140 and i-485 concurrently? Does the biometric happen after its approved or once the application is filed? Has anyone had good experiences in terms of it saving time? Will my wife who is on H4 visa be able to get an EAD to work as well?

Biometrics happen after filing, but well ahead of the 485 approval.
Don’t follow your question on it “saving time”. It’s part of the process and you show up for the appointment when they tell you to.
If your wife is a beneficiary/dependent in your 485 application and you file an EAD app for her, then she will receive an EAD as well.

All comments above for 485 EAD

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
