More than 180 days. Hence I was eligible to use AC21.

Reading comprehension much? It was my intent to use AC21 when I did not have my GC to move to a new employer. But GC was approved before I could use AC21. Yet the ball was in motion and I could not stay at my sponsoring employer because 1) re-structuring, 2) already go new job, 3) already...

I am about to apply for Citizenship. I got my GC via employment. But I left my sponsoring company 1.5 months of getting my GC. My sponsor was going through re-structuring, so I started looking for jobs BEFORE I got GC. My thought was to use AC21 portability and find a new job. I was able to find...

I didnt get an answer. My friend accepted a new job on the 16th with intent to use AC21. His 485 got approved on the 18th. He got card in mail on the 24th. To accept job, he sent back the offer letter to new employer with email signature. The new job starts on the 18th of next month...

Thank you for your reply. Please advise: 1) if this person has already got his card, does he need to file anything with USCIS when he switches jobs? 2) can he take a 3 week break between jobs? THank you.

Should this person leave current employer the day he accepts a new job? is it acceptable at all to accept a new offer, then plan relocation and then resign at current employer?

The problem here is that this person was still working for current employer when he accepted the offer and didn’t quit the same day. He had to plan relocation to the new employer over ¾ weeks. He obviously didn’t file an AC21 the same day. Moreover, how can you define permanent job offer? When...

Let’s say one is eligible for AC21. This person starts looking for a job. At this time his intent to work ‘forever’ for the current employer who is sponsoring him has changed. Let’s say that a new offer is extended to him by a new employer. The person accepts the new job and signs his name on...

Is there a way to find out what address USCIS has on file for you. I read all these posts about how even after notifying change of address, USCIS keeps using old address. I changed my address with USCIS and they sent me a notice on that address confirming the change of address. Is that a good...

Does this mean that if someone had accepted another job before I485 got approved and had planned to invoke AC21, then their I485 got approved, that they can still switch jobs without complications?

I am glad to say that today I got email that my card has been ordered. I was wondering how long it takes them to 'produce' it and for me to get it in mail. Also what is ADIT? "Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete...

Thank you so much. You provide a valuable advice. I am grateful.

But a new employer will ask you to bring some form of authorization to work on your first day, right? In that case if you showed them an EAD or H-1B etc, they would immediately start asking questions. This is what I am struggling with - the possibility that the new employer wants me to bring in...

Please offer some advice. My 485 has been pending for over 180 days and I am eligible for AC21. I have a job offer. My existing employer has applied for a new EAD since my current on expires in July. I checked that the EAD from December 26 are being processed at this time and mine was...

Is it usual or unusual to get more than one RFE on your 485. For example, if you receive one RFE and respond to that, is it a usual occurrence to get another one later regarding something different altogether? I am trying to find out what the probability is that I might get another RFE after I...

any other opinions on this? Thanks.

Do I need to invoke AC21 to go to a different department within the same company. The other job is similar but not same and requires some skills that are not part of my current job description. Do I need to involve my company lawyer (who is likely to create problems), or just join the new...

I got an RFE that wants me to submit birth cert. The good news is that this means thats the only thing missing. The bad thing is that I dont have a birth cert. So I called up the hospital where I was born and they dont have my original from back in the 70s but they have a record of my birth...

Thank you. Very helpful responses. Related question: 1) when applying to a new company, do I need to talk to them up front about AC-21 etc. I have observed that a lot of US employers are afraid of getting involved in immigration matters. One question many ask is whether sponsorship is...

I am new to this forum. Please in your kind replies do not use technical abbreviations because I do not understand 90% of them, or if you do decide to use them please tell me where I can look them up. Thanks. I have an approved 140, and my 485 has been pending for over 180 days. I was...
