You can, but it's risky. There is nothing preventing the company from filing everything and you go through the normal process. The catch is, if you have to leave then a green card application can be reason to deny you entry. As you have shown dual intent. I switched to h-1b, seemed easier. Still can't travel because AP applications take forever now. I'm waiting on the oh so useful interview to be scheduled for my green card now. Used to be they could waive the requirement but now it's absolutely required. annoying having to wait just so I can do it and confirm that I didn't lie all over my forms or whatever.
