Hello Guys,

I need some seniors valuable advise on my situation :(

I applied my 140 and 485 simultaneously two months back. The client wherever I am working asking me to come as an employee. Because they can't keep me further down. I do also interested to join as an employee. My question is with the EAD and without completing 6 months after filing 485, Can I join a different employer. Is there is going to be a problem or it won't be a problem.

Appreciate all you guys replys
 
with EAD you are authorized to work any where,
including Burger King :D or a Farm House :D

But join your client after completing 180 days from ND of 485
Ask them to bear you for 4 more months !
 
You can change job either using EAD or a new H1B, provided your I140 is cleared.

Read below.

Check the below links on the new rules.

Based on this one can change employer before 180 days of I485 but should pray that your I485 will not be approved before 180 days. With the present processing timings people should be happy if their case is approved in 2 years so getting approved before 180 days is a remote possibility.

Also the 180 days always starts since when the I-485 is received by the BCIS irrespective of whether it is filed concurrently with I140 or after I140 is approved.

The key point to be noted is that the one should change employer only after I140 is approved.They can change employer before 180 days of I485 hoping that I1485 will not be approved before 180 days or change employer after 180 days on I485 if they want to be safe.

Also if the I-140 is withdrawn by the old employer on or after the 180 days on I1485 and the employee has not submitted evidence of a new employment to the USCIS, then USCIS will issue a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). If the applicant answers the NOID by submitting evidence of a new offer of employment which is similar to the old Employment then the I-140 will remain valid and the I-485 will be processed normally.

Change Employer only after 180 days, if possible...... but you can change Employer on EAD, i did it COUPLE of times....
 
Also make sure you have your LC and I140 details before changing your job.

Option 1) Request your Employer to give your LC and I140 paperwork.

If this does not work then

Option 2) Hire a new lawyer. Fillup new G28 and request the new lawyer to request your paperwork from your old lawyer. Generally lawyer to lawyer communication should work and you should receive all your info.

If this does not work then


3) Check the below links

Thanks to all your great advises. I appreciate all your replys.

"cat&mouse" , did you transfer the employers before your 140 and 485 is approved and before 180 days !!!

140 and 485 is not approved in my case.
 
EAD

I applied I-485 in Dec-2001. i.e. after my 140 approval.

I waited to complete my 180 as my lawyer told me not to join any company before 180 days & it is ok even if I'm on bench.

Mine was a DESI Comp, so to be on safer side they gave me byebye letter but at the same time they were also looking for projects.

Hope this helps....
