Hi Guys,

Before I posting my question in this forum, I did search for the similar question that I have, but I didn’t find in this forum. So here is my question,

My Labor filed and approved in Jan2001 thru my employer from CA State, even though I was in VA. My I-140 filed in Mar 2001 and approved in Jul 2001. I lost the job in July 2001. So I changed the Employer (State PA). But Previous employer contacted me and filed my I-485 on future employment basis (without the help of Attorney). My I-485 RD is 07/2002. I applied EAD, AP (Two times) and got approved. My First FP was done in Aug 2002. I didn’t get 2nd FP.

1. If I get any RFE on EVL (Employment Verification Letter), then which one (Current Employer, OR GC sponsored Employer) I need to submit?

2. Is it AC21 applicable to my case?

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
 
You have 2 options.

1. Join the 140 Petitioner after the Approval of 485.
2. You are also eligible for AC21. (If you ger RFE u can send the EVL from the current employer).
 
Thanks for the Reply.

But it still confuses me about my eligibility for AC21. AC21 law applies only when Employee is working with GC Sponsored employer for more than 180 days. In my case, I wasn’t with my GC Sponsored Employer, and filed my I-485 after I left the company. Please help me out of this confusion.

And I seen some (Discussion board users) already done 2nd FP even though their RD dates are after mine (July 2002). I’m kind of worried because my I-485 filed with out Attorney. Can I hire Attorney to represent my case at this stage?

Thanks in Advance
 
No worries, as long as your sponsoring employer did not withdraw the underlying 140 before 180 days were up, you fall under AC21.

If asked for EVL and paystubbs, send the ones from your current company. Shouldn't be a problem.
