1099 question
I have a question regarding 1099 (R). I have filed I-485, got my EAD, am switching employers but the new job is a "contract" position (12 months). The contracting firm is telling me that they will not hire me as W-2. Now, if I get a RFE or Interview, in order to claim AC21 portability, will the 1099s be sufficient proof of my new job? I'm concerned since being an "independent contractor" doesn't seem to imply working for a "new employer" (who could guarantee my wages). Also, I'm getting the Green Card based on my previous employers' petition based on a specific job opening, right? If I get an RFE, what kind of documents would the contracting firm have to provide me with? I am reluctant to go 1099 before my GC is approved, please help!
