Hello,
I am just about to file my 485 application with INS California center.
The priority date for my application is current.
Unfortunately, the company that sponsored me hasn\'t been doing that great
and I fear layoffs that could affect me. I know that I am supposed to be
working with the company that sponsored me at the time of the I-485
approval, so I wonder:
* What happens if I lose my job before the I-485 approval? Will the company
just ask the INS to cancel my petition and I\'ll have to leave the country?
* Can the company decide not to cancel my petition and what is my status then if I leave this company. Can I work for someone else while my 485 is being processed
* How long after the I-485 approval must I remain with the company so that
the INS won\'t get upset? What is the 180 day rule ?
* What is my best estimated date for the I-485 approval? California Service Center.
* I still have a valid H1B. Could I do a transfer to another company if
everything else fails?
Thanks for any information,
