Question about 485 RFE and an Attorney

I have a critical situation. Quit the 140 petitioner (before approval) and joined a new company but the 140 petitioner has agreed to process my GC and filed 485. 140 got approved 6 months after I joined the new company.

I have taken paid consultation with Sheela Murthys office and she advised me to use AC21 but she says she cannot gaurantee an approval. My current attorney is also asking me to use AC21. But I would like to give this case to some good attorney who does work proactively and who is also willing to fight to get this case approved.

My 485 application got an RFE for

1. EVL
2. Tax Retruns for 2003/2002/2001
3. W-2's for 2003/2002/2001
4. 3 Most Recent Pay Stubs
5. If not working for the 140 petitioner explain why?

Currently I have an attorney but he is not proactive/good.

I would like to know if anybody had gone with Sheela Murthy / Rajeev Khanna / Shusterman??? or any good lawyer.

Let me know which attorney is the best as I cannot take a risk at this point.

Sricanth, I am also in the similar boat. I haven't got any RFE's on 485 but got RFE on I-140. I changed employers before getting I-140 approval. We replied to the RFE and got 140 approved in end of November. waiting for 6 months to pass after 140 approval to apply for AC21 rule. Any suggestions on my case please let me know. Thanks.
 
This question may sound silly. What is RFE then? I found lots of people talking about this, but have no idea what it is.

I understand your concern, but it's not that complicated. If you want to work for the green card sponsoring employer then you can tell that you want to work with them in the future that is why you did not choose to apply for AC-21. But if you don't want to work for them then you can use AC-21 and switch your process to your current employer. As far as your I-140 was not approved when you switched employers, I don't think it really matters which employer you were working for when your I-140 got approved.

The only thing which matters is that you can apply for AC-21 only after I-485 is pending for more than 180 days and I-140 is approved.
 
This is from one of the attorneys you requested. Does not include start date.
