Did you officially end your employment with A? What happened to your old H-1B status with A? But anyway, personally I think you’re Ok, but you should discuss everything with your attorney especially with regard to disclosure.

I was thinking if you were part of the I-485 rush during July, 2007, there could be more people ahead of you since there were tons of people who filed during that month. And once PD is current, USCIS processes generally based on RD. If you filed early in 2007, your chances of being approved [...]

It is likely that your PD will become current, but it is no guarantee that your GC will be approved as soon as your PD is current. What is your I-485 receiving date? If I were you I’d wait a little longer to renew AP, and see what happens during the summer. If you applied [...]

One can switch between CP and AOS, but it does involve more paperwork which, as you know, always carries a risk of messing up something. The more important question is whether to switch, however.

If you had the intent to file I-485 at port of entry while entering on B1/B2, it might raise some questions later on. So it all depends. H-1B is safer from this perspective. When you said your “GC” was filed a decade ago, was it LC, 140, or 485? Regulations have changed over the years [...]

I recommend you read more on AC21, which governs changing employer (with a pending I-485) and H-1B extension after 6 years. In your case you probably have to start over, since you don’t yet have I-485 filed yet. But even that is risky. AC21 is muddy by itself, so if you are seriously considering changing [...]

1. Are you currently in the U.S.? NVC handles immigrant visa applications for people who are going through consular processing at a foreign post, while USCIS handles I-485 for people who are already in the U.S. and are eligible for adjustment of status. You mentioned both in your post, but they are distinctive paths. 2. [...]

I think it should be Adjustment of Status, since AOS is the basis for your eligibility for EAD. Did you have EAD before, or enter the US with AP?
