    Layed off on 172nd day

    AC-21 You should not have a problem, but you should find a similar job very soon because if you get an RFE/interview and you do not have a job, then your 485 could be jeopardized. If your case is straightforward, you may not run into RFE etc. but you should get a good separation letter from...

    Are we still slaves even after getting GC in our hand? Then where is the freedom?

    I would not care... My attorney said wait at least a month before switching, should not be the next day. I would also rely on AC-21 which indirectly supports you to switch jobs 180 days after filing AOS. Lastly, I have spoken to some friends who have become citizens recently - none of them...

    Is there any negative effect for citizenship if one changes job just within 1 month of I485 approval

    Unknown... There is no clearly mandated/stipulated time by the INS, so use your own discretion. I have spoken to friends who recently got citizenship and they were not enquired about their job changes etc. This is the link to a same thread going around: CBEGC "Attn: GC holders/Future GC...

    Where is this 6-month wait law described ? Can you share some information as to where you heard or read about this 6-month rule ? I got approved recently, asked my attorney about it and he said - just wait a month or so before switching. Come to think about it, AC-21 says you can switch 180...

    Important tip regarding IBIS check and passport stamping

    Seems like lot of people who go to Newark and other offices are being held up in the name of additional security checks a.k.a. IBIS for their stamping even after the case has been approved - this adds to the anxiety and trauma to all. IBIS only takes 10-15 minutes: the officer who approved my...

    Please Help me regarding my GC

    My 2 cents...also search for postings by \'fib\' I think \'fib\' was in a similar situation and got approved without any problems. From what I understand and remember about my GC process, you do not have to file an employer letter with your 485 application - it\'s purely personal...

    180-day rule

    No Title Yu, if you are almost certain that you may be laid off and talking to HR does not help, start another job using EAD in similar field so that even if there is an RFE or interview, you are OK. This RFE or interview if it happens should preferably happen after 180 days of 485 filing for...

    Very diff. question.

    get a new job... and transfer smoothly..i.e. no break in paystubs. However odd it may sound, my lawyer\'s take (and some other\'s on this board) on AC-21 is that if you have to provide an explanation like an RFE or interview and it has been 180 days since you filed - it does not matter when...

    Newark local transfers

    No point now... to discuss AC-21. Your attorney may have brought it up if s/he was present. Anyway, you have sent everything that you had been asked of -now you should just wait for the approval, which should not be far away. Good luck and take it easy!!

    no need for new medicals.... since they are less than a year old. If you still want to play it safe, you can have a new form filled and signed by the same physician - usually they charge about $25 per person for that service. Since you think your case has been x-ferred because of your...
