does i-130 and I-485(i-864) have a deadline?

[pilotkausa]

My husband and I are thinking about filling I-130 soon without filing I-485 with it because he is still in a process of filling for amended tax return for the past 2 years. (and from what I've read it could take up to 6 months to get the return)
My question is if we file I-130 and I-130 gets approved, how much time will we have to file I-485 (we can't file I-864 yet).
I am still in status but will graduate from university soon.

Thank you in advance.

The I-130 approval is good for a year, but it will take 4-6 months to be approved, anyway.
