Using a valid H-1B or ESTA for re-entry

Hi, I plan on travelling abroad with my wife and dog for the holiday season. Since we have a 9 hour long return flight and a pet, we're wondering if there is a way to speed up our processing through immigration at the O'hare airport in Chicago. I have a valid H-1B visa, my wife has an EAD/AP card, and we have an I-485 green card petition pending. We're from a visa waiver country, so we could apply for ESTA to proceed through Global Entry rather than wait an hour in the CBP line. We're not sure how that would affect our visas and petition though, and if it is worth the fuss at all. Any thoughts will be appreciated!

Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
