H1 Transfer, Green Card filing possibilities

[agilani]

Hi,
I came in USA in 2001. Job market was not great, I worked on and off. First term of my H1-B was supposed to expire on July 2003. In June 2003 I filed for the transfer, transfer is still pending. I have a few questions:

1. Can i work for the employer who filed my transfer even if transfer is pending.
2. I have a few job offers from some other companies. What would be the possibility if I accept a job offer.

a: ) Should I file a new H1B for the new job. (my first h1 has expired
and transfer is still pending)?
b: ) Can I file H1B transfer, specially when my previous transfer is
pending?
c: ) Can I apply for the Green Card through new employer (with expired
H1 and pending transfer )

One last question, I have heard about Future Employment Green Card. Is there any such thing. If yes, what If I have an employer who is willing to file Future Employment Green Card for me. Can I do it when my h1 transfer is pending and my first h1 term is expired? If yes do I need to maintain H1B status separately? What will happen when my 2nd term of my h1 expires?

I would really appreciate your guidance, I am also looking for the paid consultation on those issue. Please contact me for that.

Best Regards
Azhar Mahmood

I have checked with the lawyer, he told me that INS took 8 months to send first inquiry about the pay stubs etc. Then they sent another letter asking for LCA, lawyer is sending them LCA by August 9.

Thanks
