Change of Job while I-485 Pending

[paru01]

Hi All,

I have completed 6 years on H1B. I got 3 years extension as I have an approved I-140 and I485 is pending since July 2005. My client is offering me a Permanent position.
My concern is I can not join the company with EAD as my wife still in H4. Is it possible to join the client if they process H1B? Do I get 3 years extension? Do they need to file I-140 and I-485 again? My PD is Aug-2001.

Thanks,
Param

did you file an 485 for your wife as well? if not, why don't you do so and also include an application for EAD? This would solve all the problems you mentioned.
