Some One please help me with guidance:
I was working for a company-A in Califronia and submitted my labor petetion in April 2002. I left after 4 months but the company-A continued processing my green card to help me get the green card on future employment basis. Meanwhile I joined another company-B in Dallas and I am still working for the company-B and my H1B is valid for another 1 1/2 years. I opted for (I-140 & I-485) concurrent filing in November 2002 at CSA.
My I-140 is approved in April 2003 and my wife and I got my EAD and Advance Payroll through the company-A in June 2003. Looking at the processing times I think I may be 14 months away from my GC stamping.
One of my friend who is quite knowledgeable in immigration says that I need to join the company A right away or atleast show the paystubs and W2 from that company for at least 6 months else BCIS will question the intention. He also says that I can port the green card to company-B or any other Company (WITH GOOD FINANCIAL STANDING) without first joining the company-A. Also he said that the BCIS will invariably send an RFE (asking for paystubs and W2) prior adjudicating I-485 case and at that time they may realise that I haven't joined the sponsoring company-A despite having the EAD, and eventually my I-485 may be denied.
QUESTION 1:
I cannot join the company-A back as the company is not doing very well at this time but ok to support green card processing. What options do I have at this time? can I port the GC processing to any other company since it is already 6 months since my I-485 was filed? if the answer is yes are there any precautions?
QUESTION 2:
If my green card processing is moved to another company apart from having the "same or similar" job content, is it necessary to match the salary mentioned in the green card for the company A. How could a Texas or other state company's pay the same (high) salary that of a Company-A since California based salaries are quite high????
QUESTION 3:
Do I have any options at all? My realtionship with my present employer (company-B) is very good. Financially they are doing great but they are ok and need me in Texas for a while! Is there any specific help that I could request company-B to see my GC sail through troubled waters?
Many thanks
