I-130 Application under review for 8 months, RISKY to apply for work permit?

[tm81663 10]

To get to the point, i'll ask my question first, and then let people read the details if they want.

QUESTION: if an application is pending approval for an I-130, is there any risk to that application if company of the immigrant currently works for in Mexico applies on her behalf for a work permit to allow early entry to the USA and allowing her to work there for their USA branch, all of this prior to full I-130 approval?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Details:

I filed an I-130 application back in September 2013 for my wife who lives and works in Mexico. The plan was that once the application is approved, interview is complete, and Temp Residency visa is issued, she would come and live here. She currently has a B-2 Visitors visa we've used a few times to have come visit, and there hasn't been any issue. (her visits are only for a couple days or a week or so, and infrequent). Her company she works for in Mexico has job opportunities all over the world, and we've been lucky enough to have them work out a transfer of her job from Mexico to the USA when she is allowed to legally work here.

Her company is getting anxious about her pending transfer from the Mexican branch to the USA branch, due to basically related to the business needs (training new employee, work load in the USA, etc). We have always told them it would be difficult to estimate when she could come here, as its based on immigration processing her applications and factors out of our control. However, they suggested to her that they may pay and work toward getting her a work permit of some kind (do not know which exactly) to allow her to come here in May. Now that COULD be just after when I hope our 2nd NOA show's up, and we can schedule our interview in Juarez, but no one knows for sure.

Will this application for a USA work permit filed on her behalf by her current company have any threat/issue with the application we currently have pending and what I believe should be near completion?

(Extra detail) - Our original application we filed in September went to the National Benefits Center, and we got our NOA1 soon after. In February 2014, we received a letter it was transferred to the Texas Benefits Center, and that if we hear nothing within 60 days (coming up this month), then we should contact USCIS. So summary is we submitted a fully I-130, got an NOA1, have been patiently waiting and didn't try to contact anyone since, and then got a transfer notice in February. I anticipate calling USCIS this month per the letters instructions, but is there anything else I should be doing or should have already done?

They can apply for a work visa for her. There is a visa called L1 which is for inter-company transfers. That sounds like the one they would be seeking, but you should confirm. L1 is also dual intent which means she can move to the US to work and immigrate eventually.

Thanks for the advice Harpa. I'll make sure with the company what they are looking to do, and if its an L1, that sounds like what we need.
