AC-21 related questions

Guys,

EB3/VSC Labor sub. case. My I140 has been aprroved last year and I485 has been pending for > 180 days.

I would like to switch employers using AC-21 but the hiring process may take another month or so. It appears that my priority date and I485 RD is coming very close to the current processing times and I may get approved any time.

Questions are:

1) What happens if my GC gets approved just AFTER I join the new firm but before I get a chance to send AC-21 letter to INS? Would this mean, I would have to quit the new offer and join the firm who filed my GC?

2) What happens if my GC gets approved just BEFORE I join the new firm? Am I supposed to quit this new offer and go back to or keep working for the company who filed my GC?

3) Also, my title in the labor was programmer-analyst, most probably my title will be some thing different with the new company. According to the new AC-21 memo, does the dot (and other) codes have to be exactly same as the one in Labor? How does INS look into this? I would highly appreciate if someone can please clarify this further.

Thanks.
 
I am very surprised! Not even a single reply! It leads me to believe that either the questions are very stupid, for which I apoligize if at all that is the case and would still appreciate a reply as I have seen worst questions in the past, or nobody knows the answers, which I very much doubt.

Thanks anyways.
 
kppr.....
I asked same question in different words some time back ....

My question was

If we change the company using AC-21 and do not inform USCIS thinking that we can answer them if we get RFE and the old employer also doesnt bother to revoke the I-140... But I-485 is approved without any RFE. So in the eyes of the USCIS we are still with the sponsor while we are actually not. Whom are we supposed to work with after GC so that the GC is not considered as fraud.

I was given this answer:
We are supposed to work with the sponsor only after GC because according to USCIS we were with the sponsor at the time of approval.

I would really appreciate more inputs on this tricky situation.

The whole process of this GC is nerve racking....new issues and confusing solutions......I really dont know what to believe.....one is even not let to stay peaceful after getting GC.......USCIS scares with multiple approval notices...... :)

Anyway goodluck to u buddy :p
 
Regarding_GC,

Thanks for replying. Yeah, it is indeed a tricky situation. As you very aptly put it, new issues and confusing solutions....it's endless.

Anyways, very best of luck to you too, mate.

Cheers.
