You don't have to "use" AC21 more than one time. In fact, by law, you only have to use it when you get employment RFE. You are not obliged to tell them you changed job. I was laid-off, then did 2 months W-2 contract and then found a perm job. I got an RFE and I replied it with my third...

My sponsor was a start-up that has very tiny revenue and I still get mine approved. I think it has more to do with whether they have the cash to pay you salary than whether they are making money.

Your situation is pretty tricky. In my opinion, the LC can continue as long as your company is willing. However, when it comes to the 140/485 stage, then you may be in trouble. The problem here is F-1 is an non-immigrant visa. You can't apply for green card in this status. A solution will...

hqusa, Sorry to hear your story. The first thing you need to do is find a new job. Without a new job, you cannot claim AC21 because you don't have anywhere to port your I-140 to. If you don't have a job at the time of RFE, you can still be denied. I suspect you might get an...

Re: yee >did you file ac21 and inform ins or waited for them to send you an rfe? I responded to the employment RFE. I got my new job one month into RFE >is it mandatory to inform them about job change--they way i read it seemed that it is suggested and not must. You SHOULD inform but...

atlgc, RFE = Request For Evidence My FP needed to be redone because FBI wasn't happy with the quality of the first FP. I was just unlucky. Everyone I know only did one FP.

Raj, I don't think INS will automatically know your company went under. However, by law company A needs to notify INS about its closing and then INS will revoke all its I-140s. If company A didn't notify, I don't see that INS will know and revoke your I-140. However, you better check...

ramavataar, Sorry to hear about your situation. The best bet now is to find a similar new job. As long as company A doesn't withdraw your I-140, I believe you are eligible for AC21 benefits. Good luck!

Your lawyer is right. They are two separate process. Cancelling H1 won't affect your GC at all. However, from your own perspective, it is better to have a H1 because it can keep your status when you GC is denied. I don't understand why your company wants to cancel your H1 because there...

apa118, I believe it is possible to withdraw CP and then file I-485. In your case, you will definitely be in trouble if you go straight to CP interview. However, since you don't have much time left, you better consult a competent lawyer for the options you have. Good luck!

By law, he has to give you the copy. Otherwise, you can threaten him that you will make a complaint to the State Bar. I had been through the same scenario. But then I told my lawyer my ex-employer went under and I threatened to change lawyer, so he gave me all I want. :)

Yes. You are safe now unless you don't have a job at RFE/interview or you are a terroist! ;) Don't listen to your company's threat. There is nothing they can do now. Enjoy your life!

Is your I485 based on I140? If so, your employer can revoke I140. However, if INS can't act on the revocation after 180 days of I485 RD, you are fine. The employer cannot revoke I485 because it is your application. They also cannot revoke LC because technically LC has nothing to do with you.

What ginnu says is right. However, I don't think you are required to inform INS about your job change. It doesn't hurt if you inform but you are not required to do so as far as the law is concerned. I did hear that you are required to work for your future employer for 6 months after you...

Celina, It doesn't hurt to notify but you are not required to do that.

Notify them after 180 days should be the best move. Otherwise, technically they can deny you outright before 180 days.

gcard2002, First of all, my trick is for people who are already in a nothing-to-lose situation. They either have to restart the process or continue with it using my trick. The worst they get is restart the process which is what they have to do without my trick. Also, there are no...

Re: Yee Man Chan - Could u explain this 485 issue... Ans: 1. There are simply more documents to prepare when you need to prepare BOTH I-140 and I-485. If you think of filing them separately, it is more streamline then filing them at the same time. 2a. The lawyer has to give you all the...

MM10, According to AC21, you SHOULD inform INS. So if you want to be 100% safe, you should inform INS about the change. However, since this is not a MUST, so you are not required to do so as far as AC21 is concerned.
