Can I leave if the employer doesn't want to pay me the salary stated in my Labor Cert

Hi,

Below are my two questions needed your help:

1.) My I-485 was approved almost two months ago, but my sponsoring employer has not paid me the salary stated in my Labor Certificate. Can I ask them to pay me that salary? If they are not willing, is this a good enough excuse for me to leave my current employer and seek a better job without staying with them for 6 months? Any risks for me?

2.) The six month period starts from the approval date or the passport stamping date?

Thanks a lots in advance!
 
confused

I am very confused. As far as I understand,
the 180 day rule for changing employer is counted from the filing date of 485.
Do we also have to stay
with the employer for 6 month after the GC approval??? what if we do not? will they revoke
the GC????
 
Thank you very much for your clarification, JoeF.

Another question. how does this affect national interest waiver.
what if I change job which is not in the same field as claimed
in the I140 application shortly after I485 get approved. do u think that is a problem (maybe affect future citizenship application???)

Thanks
 
JoeF and others,

I've heard about the need to wait for 'n' number of months before quitting your sponsoring employer and taking up a new job. My lawyer says there's no such thing and I can consider taking any job I want (in any field). On the other hand, from some posts on this forum and from murthy.com, I hear about waiting for 6 months.

My question is, five years down the line, at the time of citizenship application, how does USCIS track when and with whom I worked since I got the GC?
