Anoher question is if i have to go back to my country and work for the same employer will my GC processing be affected ?

Answer 1

no, as long as you're begin the process while you're in status on your L, you'll be ok, however if your company decides to transfer you back home while you're being processed on your green card, that will create serious problems. you could apply for Advance Parole, but these circumstances aren't exactlly what was envisioned for that. talk to the attorney who prepared your original petition for your company or find another immigration attorney to consult.
