AC21 Filing Requirement

Dear Gurus

I changed sponsoring employer 2 years back after I-140 is approved and I485 more than 6 months. After that I have changed 2 more times. Currently I am with this new employer for almost 1.5 years.

On June 1st my priority date will be current.

AC-21 memo states that it is "recommended" to proactively file AC-21 to notify employer change. The law does not seem to state that it is "required" to file.

My feeling is that if I-485 is approved then I am supposed to work for the company who sponsored the I-140 (unless I notify about ac21).

But many of my friends and other forum member here says that it is not required to notify. So, even if I-485 is approved it wont hurt anything. One of the forum member says his experience in talking to Rajiv Khanna also. Could any of them confirm this please.

In case I need to file, what are the documents I would need other than cover letter, new employer letter. Is lawyer required for such things.

Please let me know asap.

Thanks
