Just noticed that some are emailing FBI for name check. What is the turn around time on this if any? Do you guys get any responses at all?
Couldn't help noticing a flood of approvals from 2004 filers. A lot of them have PD after those of us who filed in 2006. Wonder how soon EB-2 will go U.
My I140 was approved. I filed my I485 in Oct. 2006. According to AC21, I can change employer as long as the job is the same or similar (In my case, it's almost the same)
I really want to move on to work for the new company. I've read the AC21 forum but it's not as active as this one. So I still have some questions hoping to find answers:
1) For AC21, is it true that I can just file the letter by myself and the lawyer doesn't need to be in the picture? Some ppl say on the AC21 forum that you're not even required to file the letter.
2) Where should I send this AC21? The Texas service center?
3) A lot of ppl say that you should stay with your current employer for 6 months once you get the green card. So it seems to me it's better to change the employer now using AC21 than later since my I485 is not approved yet, is it right? Will there be any complications?
Thanks for any help. Really appreciate it.
concerning leavin ur employer at least 6 months after u get ur green card, this is not a rule. the law doesn;t specify any timeline to when u can leave ur employer. it is open ended . some people say u should stay 6 months, some others say 1 yr some others u can leave the second day. beleive me, there is no right answer for when to leave ur employer. it is all assumptions.
This is the current message on my 485
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On May 9, 2007 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
any idea whats going on here?
That is correct. There is no stipulated timeframe for staying or leaving your sponsoring employer, and in the grand scheme of things, it is of little consequence immediately after approval. However, this can raise some flags if and when the permanent resident applies for US Citizenship down the road, say in five years. The odds of being scrutinized and questioned about leaving the sponsor (since the green card constitutes an intent to hire) are higher if the person bails "too early", and again, too early is all relative. At least thats what I have read across these boards as well as the murthy ones. I'd say 3-6 months is a reasonable timeframe, I'd personally lean towards the latter.As Antonioa77 said, there is no rule for that. You can leave the day after you get your card.
Yeah, nice of them to be so verbose about it. Its most likely your fingerprinting notice.

3 monthsor 6 mont sor 1 yr all means nothing. u can leave whenever u want and it doesn't affect u at the citizenship level. get an excuse for that and u will pass the citizenship.

Guys:
Got my EAD card...I am EB1C filing concurrently...
So, If I were to leave my job today - could I work elsewhere....
I do not have my I-140 approved or my I-485....
What do you think?![]()
