Hi ,

I have a couple of questions about the 180 day rule:
1. If i get layed off after 180 days into filing my I485. How soon should I find a new (similar) job for my status (legal status) to be valid and also to continue my I485 that was filed by my previous employer. My EAD is valid until Jan 6th 2003
2. What documents should I send INS as soon as I find a similar job ?
3. Does rescheduling my Finger print appointment count against the 180 day rule ?

Thanks

1. The sooner the better, but not later than the approval. You should have a job on hand at the time of 485 approval.

2. This is not clear from INS, but wait until you get RFE. The reason is the info. might not get properly attached to your file.

3. Rescheduling FP has nothing to do with 180 days.

Note: Try to post such questions under 485 issues forum to get answers faster.
 
Texas Service Center & I-485/180 Day Rule

In a response to an AILA inquiry, the TSC confirms that the immigration laws do not require that a beneficiary work for a sponsoring employer PRIOR to obtaining permanent residency; only a bona fide intent to undertake employment once permanent residency is approved is required. Since the 180 days portability provision has been in effect, actual employment with the I-140 petitioner is no longer required once the I-485 has been pending over 180 days.

That's a very important information. I think you should post it at 485 Issues forum too. Almost, every other day this question is raised that when can I change the job.

Do you have the source of this infomrmation - is it on the AILA web site or somewhere to look?

Thanks.
