Hi Guys
I am in EB3 category
My info is in the excel sheet!..
The question here is i have got my EAD and AP in april and now my company is not doing so good so i am looking for a new job..i am in the verge of getting a job offer!..the client does no sponser h1 and stuff..so i said to client that i am eligible to work for any employer provided i have the same job desc and salary range..and i also mentioned that they need to support me until i get the green card.The client specifically asked me what kind of support. they want in detail what exactly they need to do..
Please explain to me in detail!. based on your comments i will have to talk to the employer tomorrow..
First of all, I personally would be getting my own (good) immigration lawyer to deal with this. Even if it costs $1000 (I can't imagine it costing much more since 90+% of the work is done at this point) that's a good investment to make sure you don't mess things up when you are so close to getting the GC.

Could any of you tell me what is the paper work i need from the new employer (i completed 200 days after i applied 485 and my 140 is approved)
Probably none? You can work off your EAD and keep renewing this (and AP) as needed yourself.

Do i have to apply for ac21 rightnow or wait for rfe!.
If you think that your original sponsor might intentionally or accidently try to revoke your I-140, most people seem to recommend doing the AC21 paperwork now, rather than waiting for a possible RFE. The risk is that if the VSC issues a NOID (notice of intent to deny) that you never see (because it goes to the original company's lawyer) you could end up in a difficult situation.
At the time that the I-485 is processed the case officer needs to make sure that you have a job lined up that matches the original one, either with the original sponsor, or, under AC21, with a new sponsor. In theory, you could do anything in the meantime as long as you have the old/new sponsor able/willing to respond with the information that the case officer needs (confirm that you will be working for them, that your job duties are X, that their financials are in good shape).
What I don't know is exactly how to file AC21 or whether this can be done through a lawyer that works for you (which would reduce the new sponsors involvement to supplying a few documents if/when needed) or even if you can do it yourself. I would think that most companies would want to do this through their own lawyer for privacy reasons, even if you could technically do it yourself...
