Hi,
I am working for company X in a "slow state" where it is unlikely to get GC in the near term! My friend's company Y in a "fast state" agrees to file for my GC as future employee. However I prefer to remain as employee of X even efter getting GC from Y. My friend agrees to this. My questions are:
1. Is this allowed? Are there any risks here?
2. Will this pose a problem in I-140 or I-485 stage?
3. Can I maintain both H1 from company X and 485/EAD from company Y?
4. If 3 is not allowed, then can I continue on H1 of company X without using 485/EAD of company Y till I get my green card.
5. I heard that there is a requirement to work for a GC filing company for 6 months once the applicant enters the 485 stage. Is this correct?
My friend has agreed, if it Ok by law, to keep me on his (company Y) payroll while I still continue as employee of X during the 6 months. But I have to pay taxes on this amount, right?
Is there anything else that I have overlooked?
