Hi,
My company is sponsoring me for a green card as Employment Based 3. My priority date is April 2004 and the priority date for EB3 is May 2001. My labor certification was approved, and the I-140 as well, so i am pending of the last step, the I-485.
I have heard that while i am in the process my company cannot promote me and i have to stay with the same job till i get the green card. Is this true? i have also heard that as soon as my company gets some kind of work permit or approval i can change jobs whitout having to wait for the green card, but since my company won't give me that permit (othewise i could go an look for jobs at other companies) i can only change jobs inside the company that is sponsoring me. Is that true? What is the truth?
Thank you,
