1. is that really a good solution for the problem?
2.if i stay till apil and my I 140 is not approved then i have to go to india but can i again come back as soon as it is approved?
3.if i go to india in january 2009 and come back by feb 2009 will i b allowed to enter USA as i will have only 2 and a half months visa validity? my passport is valid for another 4 years so i hope coming back will not b a problem.

1. Yes, as a last resort.
2. There is premium processing for some cases of I140 available. Your case may qualify after it being pending for some days. Research into that.
3. Yes as long as the visa and petition are valid.
