Hello my friends: my NIW I-140 was approved based on some research projects done in the university. Now I am graduating and I am wondering if I can take an job from regular companies outside universities----by the time I get green card RFE, I will still be collaborating with professors in the University on a number of academic papers and even grant proposals that are in the national Interest, although I will be paid by the company, not the university. Both the company and university faculty can testify my NIW work though. Please advise.
 
my lawyer advised me not to take industry job till I get my green card. Probably you can work as post doc in universities/research labs. Do not jeopardise your I485 approval.
