How can your I-485 be pending for 7 years? Shouldn't you have gotten your green card by now?

So the question is what would that be? Would that be Nov 1st, 2020 when my papers reached the USCIS office or say a future date (say Feb 1st,2021) that the receipt will actually be issued?

So I haven't received my receipt as of yet even though I have filed in on Nov 1st, 2020. Does that mean that my job change can only happen in August if I receive my receipt in February or can I still change in May since the filing was done in Nov?

Hello, I am aware that I can change jobs 6 months after filing for my I-485 without refiling for labor certification. My lawyer had filed for my I-485 on Nov 1st, 2020. So I believe I will be good to submit my resignation on 1st May 2020. However, I haven't as of yet received my receipt. I...

Hello, Has anyone with an approved I-140 left USA and lost their H1B but then subsequently come back with a H1B from another company using the I-140.

Does it have to be the same company or can a new company sponsor me?

So how does the process work? Let's say my GC priority date becomes current and I am outside of the country and don't have a H1B. Will I have to get a new job from a company in USA in order to get my GC processing done? Or can I just go to the US consulate of that country and then get my GC...

Hello, I was wondering if I get my EAD can I completely stop working without having to leave USA? Also right now USCIS is accepting EB3 applications based on filing dates. So if I downgrade my EB2 application to EB3 I believe I can apply for AOS immediately and therefore get my EAD. Will...
