Jim Millis- please respond......CP and H1 problem

[sunar]

My 140 was approved for CP and I received P3 in Jan. But my H1B extension has not been approved yet. Ext was filed in Apr 01 and since my lawyer did not respond to RFE within 90 days, I received letter from INS stating that my H1B ext petition has been abandoned. My (irresponsible) lawyer is still handling my case with no luck. What should I do? I am concerned about fixing CP date without having a H1. INS says they have archived my case. Any suggestions appreciated. How should I proceed with GC and H1B issues??

You need a valid H1

for CP, in your case an approved extension of H1. I guess you better get H1 approval first and then go for CP.

Talk to another good lawyer.

CP extension??

Is it possible to send P3 to state dept after I get my H1 extension? Is there any time limit?
