L1A done... now next steps for GC.. help appreciated
Seniors
Please let me know a top 10 things I should be aware of while doing EB1C 140-485.
I am going to ask for concurrent filing for 140 and 485.
Will that be of any advantage? What are the typical pitfall of GC filing using EB1C?
I just want to make sure, while I interact with our attorney, I ask all sensible questions and make sure I get the GC in nest 8 months.

the benefits of concurrent filing of I-140 and I-485 are enormous.
Because only the I-485 gives you the right to stay under certain conditions in case you get laid off.
I-140 doesn't mean anyting when you loose your job.
With a approved I-140 and no AOS you would have to leave the USA immediately.
Some employers don't allow concurrent filing - I believe it's highly unfair and
leaves all the risks with you.
So under any circumstances I would file concurrently even if I would have to file and pay the AOS by myself .
(Went through the same without AOS and got laid off)

Am I going down the wrong path, but should you be filing an L1 renewal and green card petition at the same time, that way if green card petition gets denied but L1 renewal is approved or visa versa? You are still authorised to stay? I'm sure I read this somewhere.

Otherwise if your L1A renewal get's denied you are out. If only your
I-140 get denied it has no impact.
The right to stay with AOS and I-140 concurrently filed is called rule AC-21.
But this definitely attorney playground !!!

Yes but only if you file AOS and I-140 concurrent.

I-140 get denied it has no impact.

OP - may i ask which country you are from? This has a large impact. EB1-C is one if not the best category to be in. You don't need a labor market test (to prove there isn't an american worker who can do your job).

i-140 has to be approved AND i-485 has to be pending for 6 months before you can invoke ac21. My best advice is to 1) concurrent file and 2) get it in as soon as possible.

playground because AC21 will be applied to invidual cases.
This makes it even more uncertain.
