can I apply for GreenCard with H1b?

[kisner]

I am in US on H4....I found an employer who is willing to sponser H1b or Greencard. They already applied for H1b....but in regular processing since I need to get my VisaScreen.
Now I wonder if I can directly apply for GC...Or do I have to wait until I get my H1b approved.
And If I can apply for GC...do I have to wait until I get my Visascreen?
Please ...please advice me....I am confused

You need visa screen for I485 not I140.
It's always better to be on H1b prior to applying for GC. It's much safer just in case they put the case on hold or intent to deny it.
