what the hell do I do now?

After all this visa unavalibility issue, I have the following question about my situation:

1. 140 was approved last month
2. H1B 6th year expiring on Oct 1st, 2005 (what a co-incidence)
3. If I apply for 7th year extension, can I transfer the new H1B to the new company?
4. I want to change job and get out of this fucking slavry and want to use AC21. if I inform USCIS on job change, would I still get an RFE on 485?
5. How safe is it to use EAD and not extend H1B?
6. if I don't extend H1B and it expires and later if they deny my 485, what would be my status? Is there any grace period where I can apply for MTR?

Please comment.

Thanks

As per my knowledge, you are eligible for AC21, Even if you want to change the job (Smilar or same).
But if you dont want to use AC21, by looking into your PD you should get approval by end of this month?? else in October??
 
if I apply for the 7th year extension and after approval change my job, can I transfer the H1B to the new company?

Thanks

Your 485 ND is sometime in Apr 2004.
NSC is currently processing cases received on or before July 1, 2003.

So you'll be lucky to get approval before the end of the month.
Even otherwise, you can use AC21 and port your 485 as others have mentioned.
 
7th year extension

Can we apply 7th year extension pending 485? I thought we can only do it if our labor is pending more than 1yr.

thanks,
