Is change of employers possible while green card is in process

[pb4900]

Hi all,

 

I am currently in my 5th year of my H1-B, and looking for a job to start in July 2014. 

 

1. If I sign up with an employer who files for my green card, if I decide to leave after few years or if there is a conflict and there is termination of contract by employer, and I have to change jobs (while my green card is still pending), 

- What happens to my green card? 

- Does it go back to starting line? 

- If not, do I need to get a letter or something from my previous employer to make sure that my green card file remains active? 

- Does my previous employer have privileges to cancel my green card application filed by them?

 

2. As I will be left with only 1 more year of my H1-B visa when I start my job, will have enough time to get my I-140 approved to get my next H1-B approval in time before July 2015 (especially given the recent scenario where the Perm is taking up to 9 months in most cases)

 

I will really appreciate your help...

 

Thank you..

1. If employer withdraws GC petition then you are back to start line.

2. Doubtful but can't say for sure.
