Yee Man Chan:
I hope he Filed I-485 with out the employer letter
You started the other thread that one can file for I-485 with out Employer letter and many took the RISK of filing based on previous employer I-140 and no employer letter. now you are asking him/her that one needs the Employer...
To really use EAD, you need to fill out a new I-9 form that says your work authorization basis is EAD instead of H1B. As long as you haven't done that, you are still in H1B.
Get a copy of your I-485 receipt and I-140 approval notice and apply for EAD yourself ASAP. It is very easy. You only need to fill out a one page app. EAD will help you tremendously in finding a job in this tough market.
Good luck!
I am considering marriage in the near term, so my company's immigration advisors suggested that I not begin AOS processing till that is settled, in the interest of keeping my application simple & avoiding delays due to lost paperwork.
Sorry to hear that you were screwed by your company...
Now, if I file it using this letter and 6 months later, I change my company using AC21, what'll happen. It is possible that INS when it gets to my petition may not find the letter suitable. What'll happen ? RFE ?
I think it is likely that they will issue an RFE.

If I get an RFE, I...
gpw,
I think I heard about other AC21 cases approved by NSC. However, none of them lost their job before I-140 is approved and none of them reply RFE the way you did. So you will be in uncharted waters. Anyway just let us know how it goes...
Good luck!
gpw,
I think you are in better shape now since they are aware of your new job in the RFE reply.
What else did you include in your RFE reply? Mine asked for financial statements, W2 and paystubs, so I also gave them those. My lawyer also wrote a letter explaining AC21.
You...
gpw,
I think you made a mistake when you replied to the RFE. You should have used AC21 there with new employer's employment letter. If you do so, you probably have GC by now. This was also what I did to get my GC.
Anyway, now you can still claim AC21. However, there maybe problem...
srajesh,
To file 485 with company A, you need them to sign some papers like the employment letter and so on. If they don't want to sign, there is nothing you can do.
If you really want to save every minute, you can hire your own lawyer to do 485. Then you bring the necessary...
My suggestion is to hire a lawyer to help you. It costed me $500. Or you can read my story for inspiration. :)

Re: Concurrent Filing, 140 Approved, Being Laid off after 5 months. Jaxen, Jim Help !
a) If I find a new Job then how do I file AC 21. I have approved photocopy of my I-140 plus receipt notices of I-485.
You don't need to do anything. If an RFE comes, reply with new employment letter...
My questions are :
1) If I get an RFE for my I-140 application before April 11th, 2002 then I will be able to support it and reply to the RFE since I will have paychecks from my previous company and my previous employer will support me through an employment verification letter(EVL) too if I...
srajesh,
You should go with something that is certain. If I were you, I will file 485 with company A. After that whatever happens to A, I can find any other job and save my GC. However, if you think the CP can be done b4 anything happen to A, then go for CP. You will get the GC stamp...
dear yee and other members,
here is my situation.
I am with employer A, waiting for my CP approval from NVC. Its in 8th week now, it will either get approved or RFEd this week. Bad news is, my employer A is about to file chapter 11 (NOT totally going out of businesss).
I am exploring...
EAD allows you to work without restrictions, so both a) and b) are ok. To get your GC approved, the best case is to find a similar LC job at the time of RFE/interview. If you can't find a similar job, being employed is better than not because at least you can prove you are not a public charge...
