EB1-EA and I-485

[AGM6]

Hi guys,

I have a few questions regarding the I-485 form for EB1-EA visa.

1. The I-485 form requests a letter of employment, including salary information. I included a letter from my employer for the I-140 application stating that they would offer me a job after GC approval. I know that EB1-EA does not require an employment.
Do I still need to submit a letter from my employer for the I-485, or should I simply not submitt a letter from the employer? I will obviously include the I-140 approval notice for EB1-EA.

2. Do I need to submit all documents in original and copy (so that they have two samples)?

3. Otherwise I will only include this: photos, G-325a form, I-94, current visa copy/passport copy, medical exam in sealed envelope, birth certificate, copy of I-140 approval notice.
Did I forget anything?

4. On form I-485 Part 2 (application type): I assume that the I-140 approval notice for EB1-EA means that I indicate (a) here (an immigrant petition ... has been approved). Right?

5. Nonimmigrant visa number: I assume this is the red number on the H1B visa, right?

Thanks!

-----better submit letter from the employer.
2. Do I need to submit all documents in original and copy (so that they have two samples)?

What is the fastest way to get the I-485 if you are not from a retrogressed country?

One thread said that it is even better to submit the I-485 before the last week of June, rather than the last week of June. Is that right?
Are there many new I-485 expected in July, and does that mean that I should file my I-485 immediately?

Is there anything I can do to facilitate the I-485 approval?
I am from Germany, not a retrogressed country. How long does it usually take to get the GC? And is it faster if you are applying via EB1-EA?

One more question: after the GC is approved, is there a requirement to stay for x amount of time in the country? Or could you go for a few months ona business trip abroad?

Thanks!
