    Changing jobs after filing for I-485

    Changing jobs after filing for I-485

    So I haven't received my receipt as of yet even though I have filed in on Nov 1st, 2020. Does that mean that my job change can only happen in August if I receive my receipt in February or can I still change in May since the filing was done in Nov?
