AC21 and laid-off before 180 days

Hi Gurus,

Need some help here. The case is "got laid off way before 180 days, right after 140 approval".

My attorney just came back from immigration lawyers\' annual meeting in SF. And she said laywers in the meeting agreed that AC21 applied to this kind of cases as long as the case hadn\'t approved before 180 days and the former employer didn\'t go bankrupt. If this case got RFE on employment, there were two choices. One is to have former employer write the employment letter, and the other one is to have current employer write this letter to state the similar job description and salary.

Anyone has any ideas or comments? Is this too good to be true?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
which service center? when is your RD? If your attorney is confident then

it should be ok. attorney know the best. if someone crosses 180 days
and laid off and also company goes bankcrupt(company name does not exist) then what will be the case?
 
NSC, RD 9/4/2001

The thing is Sheela Murthy (www.murthy.com) said AC21 applied to this situation in her chat room long time ago, but most attorneys don\'t agree with her. If I had my current employer write this employment letter for RFE, and if I got rejected for my green card, could I refer AC21 for help on appeal? There is no clear clarification on AC21.
 
gpw, as far as I know,

there are lot of contradictory reports being posted on various boards.
Yesterday, murthy said some comment same as your lawyer\'s. Hope it happen later on AC21 regulation. The AC21 regulation will be released in next 2 months. check http://www.immigration-law.com/, into Breaking News! section, search "AC 21 Regulation".

BTW, Which center are you in? RD?

Good Luck!
