GC and H1 thro different companies...... Can it be done ??
- Thread starter gc4us

H1 and GC from different employers while in US
Hi All,
Greetings. My situation is as follows....
I would really appreciate your input and thanks in advance...
My first entry to the US was in Feb 19, 1998 through Company-X
Later Company-A sponsored my H1 in April-2002 and is valid until Mar-2003.
Recently I joined Company-B [hoping, better prospects!!!]. In any case i have my 6 year term ending in Feb-2004. [Less than 2 years from now !!].
Interestingly, CompanyB has expressed concerns over filing my GC [stating various internal reasons......blah!! blah!!! blah!!!] albeit my job status is good with company-B as long as i am in their H1, which is valid atleast till my 6 year term expires [Feb-2004].
In this situation, considering the fact that my previous employer i.e, Company-A is willing to process my GC what are my options?.
1. Will there be any conflicts if i work for company-B and have Company-A do my GC while i am in the US?. The reason for this question is i am not sure if an employer in the position of Company-A can do my GC treating this as a normal "Future employment" candidate.
2. In the later stages, I-140, I-485 would there be any complications w.r.t documentation if i happen to have any RFE [paystubs et al] as i would not have any paystubs from Company-A.
3. If things are fine w.r.t Company-A doing my GC, would i be safer doing CP or just stay here optimistically.
4. Also in order to continue my GC with Company-A, i should have them extend my H1 after Mar-2003, right ??? [Their H1 expires at that time!!!]
5. Or is my assumption that Company-A has to have my H1 to do my GC wrong. Can they start and proceed the GC even without having my H1....
Please do let me/post if this is not clear or if you need more information...
TIA,

similar situation
I am in a similar situation, where I had my H-1 transferred to a new compnay, but my h-1 expires in June 2003 and my first company is willing to continue my GC if I come back and work for them after the GC goes through. I am currently in I-140 processing with compnay A. Is this possible? and if so when do I need to start working for the first company? After receiving the GC or after the the EAD card? How long do I need to be with the company? Can I leave before receiving the GC? I have heard that there is a 180 day rule where 6 months after the I145 filing, one can move to a new company as long as the job description is identical. Thanks.
