Potential Layoff

[MONCYS]

I am on H1B working as a consultant for a Client company.
My Project is ending this month. I filed my 485, EAD on March 2009 on EB2 Row and PD 2008 Jan through my parent Company.
140 approved long time back.
485 is < 180 days. EAD not yet approved.

I fear potential layoff in case not found a project fast.

Can I know my options. ?
Please reply...any experts..

Can't avoid anything that future hold for you.

1. It would be good if the employer does not let USCIS know about your layoff.
2. don't apply for unemployment benifits even if you are given one (at least for 180 days from I-140 approval).
3. Hoping your employer does not revoke your I-140
4. Take a 3 months unpaid vacation at the same job and/or offer help by working from home. Accept a lower salary for 180 days.

4. If possible try to be in company's payroll till you complete 180 days after I-140 approval by taking a vacation.
