Hello All,

I\' am a software professional and I have a question on the 180-day rule. It’s now more than 180 days since I applied for my I485. Now if I want to change the employer then I would like to understand the meaning of “finding a similar job”.

Does working in the computer field with the new employer satisfy the similar job rule or should everything match completely including the technologies and software tools I worked on when I first applied for my GC. Because I am planning to change into a different technology if I change my employer.

How risky is it to change employers in the first instance even though INS says that we can change after 180 days?
 
Similar job as in LC or I140...

Software or technology will not be crucial. Responsibilities will be. Most probably your position as in the LC application (and not what you were while applying for GC) will have braoder responsibilities...
