At What Stage Should I Join My Future Green Card Employer?
My future employer is planning to file my GC PERM in the month of May 2018. Also I have PERM in process from my current employer.
Is it advisable to join the future employer before filing the PERM or after the PERM is approved or after I-140 is approved.
Basically need to know at what stage of the GC process I can join the future employer.
Does my joining the future employer impact the GC approval process (getting PERM approval, I-140 approval).

Working from Canada on or off H-1B
Questions,
1. Can I stay in Vancouver while I commute to Seattle for work once a month for a day?
Is there any restriction on the amount of time I need to spend inside the US on H1B?
Is there any restriction to how frequently I can go in/out of the US on H1B?

2. Since my work location would be changing to Seattle from California for me to be able to do this. I am suspecting my PERM will need to be refiled. But given that my H1B is expiring next year and the PERM, I140 process takes almost 1-1.5 years. Can my current company use an older existing approved I-140 petition to help me get my H1B Visa extended? My older I-140 had been approved for more than an year before I left the employer.

3. Will doing this have any impact on my H1B Renewal? I would need to go for re-stamping next year in September.
