Gurus,
After reading all informative threads here, we get coverage of most of the dilemmas that make up our lives. Thank you for this dedication to our real-life.

Raising one additional questions relating to AC21

I am the primary on the GC process, been with the same co that filed my PERM. What happens when the primary applicant (specifically women) wants to take time off DURING the 1-485 wait? My PD is 5/1/2009 and we all know what a happy occasion that has turned out to be as of FY2014. I am this close, but "this" may be another year....meanwhile life is a-calling.

Some of the options I have identified are:
1. Convert to consular processing speed and wait it out in India (which according to a few threads here should be the last option)
2. Take a sabbatical for a year till June 2015 when the results of the visa bulletin will be satisfactory; come back to the same job then for receipt of GC - that way I will be in the same job as when I had applied PERM (no salary for a year and no position, but active in co directory)
3. Take a transfer but continue working for the company from offsite (this may not be possible as the co is US based and mostly geo-specific)
4. Quit current job to manage requirements on my personal life - will this cancel all dependent chances for GC?
5. Flex-work from home with lower pay, but mostly change in job description. For example I go from Auditor to Marketing Manager doing campaigns and events

Would you tell me your experience or advice on the wait-it-out that I may not be able to afford personally?

Truly a case of "Light at the end of tunnel is not the promised land, it is Weehawken NJ!!" Thank you again for discussing various options with us.
My best!
