Changing employer after 4.5 months

[aajtak]

All,

I have been reading in the forum that good time to leave the sponsoring employer is minimum 6 months to 1 year after I-485 approval.

In my case, I got my I-485 approved, GC stamped and received Green Card. I want to change my employer after period of 4.5 months after my I-485 approval. I am getting approx. 25% raise in my salary. Is it a good idea to join the position with new employer. I have asked them if they can wait for another 1.5 months and they have refused. Please let me know what are the possible implications of joining the new employer. I don't hope to get this much salary hike anywhere else.

Your inputs are appreciated.

Don't get too hung up on the 6 month period.

Correct, should be fine, but consult lawyer for clarification.

How did you get contact with this new potential employer?
If they initiated or some recruiter initiated, then document
that. On the some HR forms, there is a question
"why do you leave the previous employer".

Make sure you write down something like
"I never intended to leave the previoys company and I
decided to work for them the rest of my life. But
You come to ask me to join you over and
over again. I figured that I can serve the national interests
of USA better if I join the new company and so I did"

AmericanWannabe,

Thank you for the response. I got in touch with new employer through a recruiter. I don't understand how filling up HR forms using some specific language will help me in my immigration matters. Please advice.

If your new employer or some recruiter on their behalf initiate contact
with you, then there is no circumstantial evidence to show
you don't have the intent to leave your previous employer.

If you initiate the contact (especially if the first
contact was done even before GC is approved), then it is
circumstantial evidence that you did not have the
intent to work for your sponsor.

So on your new empooyer's form regarding the
reason why you left the previous emploer (the GC
sponsro). never write anything negative like
(salary is too low, work not changening,
boss not nice). On the contrary, write
good sthing about them, and try to
make words sound like you wanted to stay
there but someone grabbed you away.

I was converted from consultant to permanent employee
while I was working for a consuling firm that sponsored
my GC. On the client's form, I wrote the
reason why I left the previous employer: "The client
kept asking me to join them"

this all seems to be a bulshit to me. i mean based on latest immigration laws (AC21), you can change your job after 6 months of filing of your 485 application so far your job is in the same category for which your 485 was applied for. I know so many people who changed their job after 6 months of filing their 485 application and then they got approved while they were working for ther new employer. They did not even inform INS about the change of the job. INS send them the RFE and they send the employment letter from their new employer and they got approved. So if it is OK to change your employer after 6 months of filing 485 application, how come it is not OK to change your employer after 485 is already approved. think abt it.

So, i gues technically, after this new Law AC 21, there is absloutly no need of working for your employer after your green card is approved.

You are correct. There is nothing in the LAW to conclude otherwise.

Aswell, there is ODD GUY OUT here who gives some murthy's OLD link as BIBLE reference again and again. One lawyers opinion at some point is not LAW.So JUST ignore him.He is a living proof that Human being can survive without brain.

""Although AC21 allows the changing of employers if the I-485 is not adjudicated within 180 days, there is no change in the law with respect to the intention of the employer to offer and the employee to undertake "permanent," full-time work with the sponsoring employer for the job advertised."

Based on above quoted logic, after using AC-21, once GC approved,applicant has to join back again GC sponsored employer(employer who supported labor,140 and 485,As that employer only hired applicant for the job advertised). This is BS

Any GC applicant always have only "ONE SPONSORER" and with AC-21 , applicant change EMPLOYER not SPONSORER. Is this line is TOO MUCH for your brain's storage capacity.

 

[GCLookup]

With AC21, the new employer becomes the sponsor.....

So just for convinience you think new employer is sponsorer???

WIth AC-21, applicant change employer not SPONSORER. Sponsorer is the employer who approves labor,140 and support 485 application. You p*nhead, stop spreading STUPID ideas. I think calling you stupid would be an insult to stupid people.

Because of your ass attitude , you must have been nicely f**ked by INS offices/s and things don' change its gona happen again and again. Who cares, Stay busy in f**king off. And stop posting BS crap and misleading members.

Guys there is no such law like that,its all crazy thoughts in p*nheads mind, just ignore him

More kudos..he he he

 

[FunnyWait]

There we go again...Same topic, same discussion, same argument. A thread starts with good informative Q and A and finally resulting into fights.

There is nothing to learn from this board as far as chaging jobs after 485 approval is concerned.......Some innocent, new 485 approved folks ask a gunuine question on this topic not knowing where this thread is going to go.

Excellent job, JoeF - it seems you have a burning desire to answer this qestion even knowing what happened in the past. And you and some people call yourself a big contributor to this board. Probably admin too ! If I were admin I won't allow JoeF to reply on this Question of changing jobs. But hey, who cares !

There should be a law to make such discussion a deportable offense
for aliens whose GC was sponsorder by employers because people who discuss this matter do not have the bona fide intent to work
for their sponsor

 

[GCLookup]

And I am still right, if you or others like it or not.
If people post wrong answers, I correct them. If they don't like that, tough luck...

woh, who decides that u r right ? can u spot anybody else than you? By posting same message,same Murthy link again again don't prove ur point, it only proves ur STUPIDITY. Are you just stupid or possessed by some retarded ghost?

Nobody wants to hear from you on this subject.
Do you understand this simple english line? Read it,remember it and strictly follow it. OK Buddy.

 

[GCLookup]

The law.
Once and for all:
1. The law says that you have to have the good faith intent to work for the sponsoring employer when you become a PR.
2. This does not change with AC21.
3. The only thing that changes with AC21 is the sponsoring employer.
Anybody should be able to understand such a simple concept.

Although AC21 allows the changing of employers if the I-485 is not adjudicated within 180 days, there is no change in the law with respect to the intention of the employer to offer and the employee to undertake "permanent," full-time work with the employer for the job advertised.

WROONG AGAIN.

From your own quotes on this thread , says that applicant should work for new employer and also for the job advertised (See 2nd quote above highlighed).
Now with your analogy (not based on any LAW, just crazy rumblings in your mind), after AC-21 applicant should work with NEW employer as well as employer who approves labor(i.e job advertised). So you suggest that applicant has to work for 2 employers simelteneously??? . Only Crazy mind like you can posts such BS crap, unfortunately there is no vaccine against stupidity.Tough Luck. So once for all STOP misleading members.

 

[GCLookup]

And the law says that the new job replaces the one advertised. Look it up...
You are really getting desperate now. Give it up already. I happen to know more about this than you.

Here u go. Dogs tale, can't be straight.

Woh, why don't u tell everything you know. It'll only take 10 seconds for ur p*nhead to spit out all.

And which is that LAW p*nhead? same Murthy link, dummy.

You just don't give up making BIG FOOL of urself again and again. Don't you.
There is no such LAW, put this thing into ur crazy brain tissues. Everybody knows that you are STUPID,p*nhead and BS CRAP. So get over with it and Get LOST

 

[GCLookup]

I have. Learn to read...
Let me repeat it again:
AC21 does not change the fact that you have to have the good faith intent to work for the employer. With AC21, you have to work for the new employer.
Why should I do your work for you??? THe law is online in several places.
But it is obvious that you are not able to use the Internet... Instead, you continue you act childish and throw expletives around. That really shows how desparate you are...

So there is no such LAW. So stop misleading fellow members here. Moderator take a note,with whatever little authority againest p*nhead you have, USE IT and stop this "MONKEY MANAIC" to mislead on this issue.

p*nhead is mad because someone has shown his knowledge is such a ASS. Good sign for ur p*nbrain. Keep trying, someday your p*nhead might not post BS CRAP.

 

[GCLookup]

Of course there is:
"A certification made under clause (i) with respect to an individual whose petition is covered by section 204(j) shall remain valid with respect to a new job"
One sentence that covers it all.
So, stop misleading member here. You are wrong. Period.

Did ur p*nbrain got enough oxygen at birth?? I bet NOT.
So from above line, ur p*nhead concluds that with AC-21 NEW EMPLOYER becomes sponsorer.?? Isn't it far stretch to any dumb imagination. But wait a minute, COMMON SENSE is not applicable to you. You have crossed all boundries of STUPIDY.

By ALL Means ,You are free to follow ur p*nhead. But don't mislead members.
Moderator, this monkey manaic needs some attention, please put him in his cage with IMMEDAITE action.

 

[GCLookup]

Ahh, you can't argue with the law anymore, can you???
So now you are back to your misunderstanding of "common sense"... and you continue to show your infantile nature.
So, you have shown to the world that you are a complete and utter moron who refuses to accept what the law says.
Case closed.

Here is again what I said a couple of posts back:
1. The law says that you have to have the good faith intent to work for the sponsoring employer when you become a PR.
2. This does not change with AC21.
3. The only thing that changes with AC21 is the sponsoring employer.

This is what the law says, and it is all that matters.

THIS IS WHAT ur STUPID P*NHEAD concludes from one line law u mentioned in previous post. Which part of that line tells you that AC-21 changes sponsorer? Why don't u consider to sue ur p*nbrain for non-support.
You have no argument and with BS CRAP stop misleading members . You have shown and proved u r monkey manaic again and again. GET LOST. Bang

 

[ar888]

If you continue to argue with each other on a personal level, by calling names, I might have to close this thread.

 

[GCLookup]

Some frustated p*nbrains rantling blah blah.

Wise decesion, you have nothing to contribute for this discussion and
No body needs your answer on this forum p*nhead. Does ur p*nhead think otherwise, sue him, it might help.
There is no such law, its just garbage from p*nhead .I repeat again "with AC-21 applicant changes employer NOT sponsorer" CLEAN ur p*nhead. You have LOST argument, so get OVER with it GET LOST. Nobody wants Monkey manaic scrolling around here. bang
