Dear Sir/Madam
RE: SFW 000000 , A#, Wannabe Immigrant, I485 under AC21



I had been working for companyA from StartDate using H1B visa (latest H1 receipt SFW ). companyA applied for labor certification for the job of LCJobName on veryOldDate. The OCC code of the Job was 030.062.010 per the Onet classification (SOC: 15-1030) for a salary of $verylowAmount per annum. The responsibilities of LCJobName included Analyzing business and engineering data processing problems, designing and implementing a solution and test the developed systems.This Labor Certification was approved on aVeryLongTime. Based on this approval an application for immigrant visa (I140) was made on aLittleTimeLater. This application was approved on aLongAgo. I applied to adjust my status to permanent resident status on aFunDate. My Employment authorization document was approved on areallyFunDate.

According to the memo dated June 29 2001 on the American competitiveness in the Twenty First Centrury Act and related legislation, from the Office of the Executive Associate commissioner of Legacy INS, change of employment is permitted in cases of lengthy adjustment adjudication. That memo lists two preconditions for eligibility to change jobs- I485 is pending unadjudicated for 180 days or more and the new job is in the similar occupational classification as the job for which the certification was initially made in section 106(c).

I joined companyB at mycurrentHome on 180DayDate ( approx. xxx days from the receipt date of I485) as a newJobName for a salary of $highAmount per annum. The job responsibilities include Analyze business and engineering data procesing problems, design,implement and test the developed systems. Please find attached a letter from companyB regarding the employment offer, Job title , job description and salary.

Pursuant to the guidelines of the memo cited above and my eligibility based on the fact that my I485 application has been pending unadjudicated for more than 180 days and the new job is in the similar occupational classification (SOC code 15-1051), I request that BCIS continue processing my I485 application. I also request that my I485 application be approved based on the provisions of the American Competitiveness of 21st century signed as law on October 17, 2000 and adjudicate favorably.

I would be glad to provide any additional information required by you.

Yours Truly

Wannabe Immigrant
