One of my friend is changing employer. His new employer applied for H1B transfer(normal processesing). He got receipt number(WAC number) a week back. His H1B six year period expires on 28th April 2006. To get 7th year extension, his employer has to apply for green card in a month time.

1. Can new employer file for Green card given H1B transfer petition is not yet approved(Just got H1B transfer WAC number)?

Thanks for your replies.

You don't need to have a H1B visa to apply for GC.

In short Yes the new Employeer can start the GC process right now.
