- Does Premium Processing I-140 actually decrease the total time to green card for concurrently filed cases? (i.e. does USCIS really do work on 485 even before 140 is fully adjudicated?)
- How early would it be "safe" to quit job and start a tech startup after green card is issued for a software engineer at a bigco?
Regarding your first question, it's hard to say but my feeling is yes, that this can sometimes speed up the review and approval of the I-485 application. Regarding your second question, there's really no risk to leave right away as long as your green card was obtained in good faith. This is further supported by AC21 which allows the "porting" of green card applications after 6 months.
