Can a company start the green card process without first transferring my H1B?

Answer

The GC is based on a future job offer. So, a company could start that process without filing an H1B for the potential employee. It is best to have the individual shift over to the new company at some point in the GC process; but, it is not a requirement for starting the case. (03.Nov.2014)
