    GC holder planning to be outside of US and apply for USC

    I have friends who applied for USC, then left the country, and then flew back to complete the formalities, including the final oath. I don't see any issues as long as you meet the residency requirement. You should consult an attorney.

    Please Advise !!

    Since you're the beneficiary in the GC application, and you have an EAD, I see no problem in switching jobs.

    Must a I-130 be accompanied by I-485?

    I-131 takes 60-90 days to be approved, correct. However, I have at least 1 friend who travelled out of USA with I-131 pending, and didn't have any issues returning to US on an unexpired visa.

    How long it takes to process I-140 ?

    exactly, premium I-140 looks like a misdirected effort. I don't think they'll even make much money from this unless they deliberately slow down regular I-140 processing. In any case, I-140 average processing time is about 78 days only (source...
