    I-140 approved changed jobs

    The provisions for transfer of the earlier priority date are unrelated to AC21 portability. Having solely an approved I-140 petition (without an I-485 that has been pending for 180 days) does not give the individual eligibility for AC21 green card portability. We have received some questions...

    H1B - does it require salary of $60,000?

    filing before PD?

    Does your 485 only become in "pending" status if you file after your PD becomes current? What if I were to file ahead of the PD date, would it still be considered "pending" so that after 180 days I could change employers?

    Maybe I should scrap that idea then. I'd have 10 years experience in my field, but not all those years were video producing. I guess they could deny me on that. But I should at least switch to H1 and then I could transfer employers right, and still use my I 140? I don't think they would...
