Hi All,

I am planning to submit my I140 and I485 concurrently in the EB1-EA (self) category. I found out that I need to submit affidavit of support/employment letter as per the instructions for I485. I thought that in EB1-EA, it does not require a job offer. I am confused. Do I have to have a job offer letter that needs to be attached? I dont have a permanent job lined up for now. Any inputs from people who did EB1-EA would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Sulpha
 
I did not have to attach employement letter for EB1-EA I-140 petition. Now, I am getting ready to file I-1485 after EB1-EA got approved and have to provide employement letter which should show that I am working in the field which was the basis of my EB1-EA I140 petition.
 
Thanks cerruti. I already mailed my application forms yesterday. Probably i just have to answer the RFE when they process my application. I am a postdoc at a national lab. i have only 8 more months left on my last year of employment. it may be extended for couple of months from then. Do I have to show them that I have an permanent employment offer or just show that i am still working in my field?
Do you know how long it takes for the EB1-EA processig now a days in NSC? I checked their website, looks like even the EB1-EA category is back logged to Oct 30 of 2008 am i right??
