Approval without notifying BCIS of job change

Some people recommend notifying BCIS proactively when job changes and others recommend responding only when getting a RFE and include an AC21 letter.

My question is: If one doesn't notify BCIS about the job change and luckily gets the approval, will this be considered a fraud and cause any problem in future citizenship application or potential GC revocation? Should s/he submit an AC21 letter after getting the approval?
 
it's a serious issue

I'm also concerned about this.

And I'm interested in the sitituation:
laid off after 180 days I-485 pending, struggle to fine new job, becuase the market is bad, it may take a couple of months to get new similiar offer, while fortunately or unfortunately, I485 got approved. How to deal with it?
Report to INS or let it be?
 
looking at new 180 days memo

I would suggest definetly to inform BCIS as soon as you joined another employer with AC21. B'coz according to new Memo if any how they come to know(from back ground check,security check,etc of yours) they would send you a NOID which is worse then RFE.
So whats wrong to inform BCIS.
I would definetly inform.
 
The tricky thing is that IF you are not able to find a job (like aqaqaqaq mentioned) OR you find a job that's not quite "same of similar", what do you do?

If you inform BCIS, your case might get denied ... otherwise you might still have the luck or at least time to find a qualifiable job...

Actually my original question was what if one ALREADY gets approval, should he inform BCIS about the job change?
 
No need unless you are going to apply for citizenship. Otherwise, your case is there and won't be touched after approval. When in citizenship stage, your history will be examined again. At that point. no idea.
 
After approval, there is no law that allows an GC applicant to safely (like 180 days or AC21 memos) change employer. So if you inform BCIS, you are risking deportation.
If GC is approved and you have changed employer, you just keep squirming until citizenship interview or GC renewal...
 
GC renewal??

What's that please?

Jaxen and other gurus..

I am struggling with a similar question:

If (a) one changes employer > 180 days of filing 485 and (b) have it in writing from the sponsoring employer that they won't cancel 140, should BCIS be informed or wait for the RFE.

On one hand, if BCIS is not informed and finds out from other source and issues NOID, it is serious trouble

On the other, if BCIS is informed about the change in job, but then by the time the case is approved, one is laid off again or changes job again, would BCIS look it as a repeatitive pattern and it would negatively affect 485?

Any thoughts on how many times one can change jobs?

Appreciate your help.

You can change employers as many time you like. Until BCIS is sure that your intent was to stick to the similar job, you are fine.
My opinion (changed post aug 2003 memo) is that any change of employer, inform BCIS.
 
that is true - I just checked with my attorney. It is important that AC21 cases inform BCIS about change in employers. That helps both parties : (1) by avoiding petitions getting cancelled due to I-140 revocations and (2) BCIS does not need to send RFE for employment letters, etc. potentially speeding up the process
 
Citizenship

The problem when applying for Citizenship may be not applied now. As no body from the AC21 generation undergone citizenship now, we will only know how BCIS react to the job change probably after 3 years.
