GreenCard offer 4rm company I am not working for?Risk involved

[chosenone52]

Hello ,
First of all, this is a great forum and members are really helpful out here!

My case is something like this
Currently I am on h1( completed 1 year) working in construction industry. My profile consist of Bachelors from India and Masters from USA.

The company I work for is not willing to go ahead with my green card. ( With the economy going south, its not wise to jump). But know a company who liked my profile and is willing to sponsor my green card-EB2. The reason they are not willing to hire now is due to economy, but willing to help me in my GC process before hiring and might pick me up at first opportunity.

Something like this: I am employed for Company A on h1 and company B is willing to do my paperwork as a future potential employee?

I had various concerns:

>> Is green card application based on future employment possible, (as in my situation)?

>> GC takes 4-5 yrs to process. What if they decide not to hire me?


>> What are the risk factors involved on my side as well as on Companies side who is sponsoring my GC?


I know its a complex situation and would appreciate thoughts and comments from all users.

Thanks

Who told you GC takes 4-5 yrs to process. It used to take 4-5 years to process 10 years back. Today, with the current backlog it takes 20-30 years to process.
