    I can prove intention to stay when we filed greencard application ... Thanks, Ginnu and TheRealCanadian for your replies. I am beginning to see the light in this dilemna. Essentially, what I'm getting from my research is the following: i) there is no specific law that says you have to...

    When can I switch employers?

    Employer not offering Senior position until middle of next year ... Ginnu, thank you all for your reply. I spoke to my sponsoring manager (Director of IT) and he said the following: i) the Senior position is not available yet, and only in early next year would he be able to discuss it...

    When can I switch employers?

    Could you explain how does option C above help? I'm willing to wait up to 8 years before applying for citizenship, so this looks like something I could do if it would really help. Also, I'm going to ask my manager to promote me to the Senior position mentioned in the I-140. If they refuse to...

    When can I switch employers?

    Thanks for your response, FunLover2000! I did have the intent to be employed by my current company for a long time. My employer filed the I-140 because they intended to employ me for a long time. Problem is, they changed their behavior (less benefits, more unattainable goals, etc), and I...

    When can I switch employers?

    Thanks for the response. Follow-up question: Can the current employer do anything to have it cancelled (for example, by revoking the I-140)?

    When can I switch employers?

    I hope someone can reply soon: My I485 had been approved less than 180 days from filing. I have considered leaving the company long before I learned of my GC approval. I am currently pursuing another job. I just heard that one cannot switch employers immediately after I-485 had been...

    GC Card ordered --- Am I dreaming???

    Hi Jackolantern! Would it have been a problem if you told them that you're no longer working for the sponsoring employer (assuming you changed jobs since getting your GC)? Thanks!

    I485 approved --- what happens next?

    Approval notice and physical card not yet received but in the mail (according to USCIS). 1) Will it be OK for me to accept new job offer now, or do I need to have the physical card in my possession first? 2) Will there be implications to future US Citizenship application if I switch jobs...

    GC Card ordered --- Am I dreaming???

    my details ... I don't have my documents right now, but here are the approximate details that I remember: > EB2 category > I-140 and I-485 filed on March 2008 > I-140 approved on May or June 2008 Today, online case status states: "On July XX, 2008, we ordered production of your new...

    GC Card ordered --- Am I dreaming???

    Please, allow me to rephrase my question ... No replies --- maybe I sound too stupid. Please, let me rephrase my main question. Here goes: Is it really possible for I-485 to be adjudicated in less than 6 months (from filing date)? Has anyone here have this experience? Thank you!

    Ensuring new job description qualifies for AC21 ...

    I THINK my GC just got approved. If this is true, can I start on new job now even if I still have not received the physical card? Do I still use my EAD when I start? Thanks for your help.

    GC Card ordered --- Am I dreaming???

    I just posted a while ago that I'm worried about switching jobs because I'm not sure about the new job description. THEN I checked online status for my family and all of us says "... card was ordered on ... wait for 30 days ... ". I feel very light-headed right now, my hands trembling, almost...

    Ensuring new job description qualifies for AC21 ...

    Hi! I'm trying to convince myself that It would be OK for me to changes jobs once my I-485 get past the 180-day period. To be completely eligible for AC21, my new job duties need to be deemed "similar" to the one used in my LC. This comparison is very subjective: I might think that the 2 jobs...

    PLEASE HELP ASAP --- AC21 and PD questions ...

    Getting worried again after GXR's I-485 denied past 180 days!!! Thanks for your response, Jackolantern! I've read GXR's post today about his I-485 being denied even though he switched jobs after 7 months have passed. I am now half-hearted about this new great job I am eyeing --- I'm...

    PLEASE HELP ASAP --- AC21 and PD questions ...

    Please help if you can give even partial response (need to have answers by next week) Sorry for the rush --- I so desperately need this new job and want to take it if I am already eligible for AC21. I appreciate your help.

    Not getting job specified in the LC ...

    No replies --- is the question stupid? :confused: I'm wondering why none of the viewers have replied to my question. If the it is because my question sounds stupid or it doesn't make sense, I apologize --- I just really don't know the process and I'm hoping someone else does. Thanks again!

    Not getting job specified in the LC ...

    The job for which my labor certification and I-140 was based on was for a senior position at my company, which I am hoping to be eligible for at about the same time that I expect to have my GC approved. Will there be a problem if I am not offered the position for some reason (i.e., is it a...

    Passports expiring before GC approval ...

    Our I-485 (EB2) is in progress and we're optimistic that, barring any RFEs, we could receive our actual GC in the mail some time in the 4th quarter of 2009. That's the good news. The bad news is, I just realized that our Canadian passports will be expiring in June 2009. My questions are as...
