Why not file the preliminary amendment with the National Stage application?

Dear List,
I have a PCT with a national-phase deadline [30 month] this Friday.

My client is concerned about pre-grant protection  under 35 U.S.C. § 154(d) .

If I enter the national stage in the United States THIS WEEK, and then I file a preliminary amendment NEXT WEEK (i.e. after the 30 month deadline), which version of the claims will the USPTO publish.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Bill
