Comp A filed I-140 (already approved) and I-485 under EB3. PD Nov 2006. Moved to Comp B via H1B transfer (Comp A agreed not to withdraw I-140). Planning to ask Comp B to file another application this time, EB2.
1-Is the pending EB3 GC application from Comp A independent of the planned EB2 GC application with Comp B such that if the latter is denied, the former can still remain valid? Is there no risk of audit?

2-My argument in asking for an EB2 GC application with Comp B is because a co-worker who has the same duties as me and similar educ background/experience has been recently granted his GC filed under EB2 category by a lawyer of his own (I used Comp B lawyer). I am BS degree holder, more than 10 yr experience on current job but not certain if the job we were both hired required it
