Hello All,
I have been with company ABC for the past 5 years, and I applied for my GC process through them. My I-140 and I-485 were applied in Jan 2003. My I-140 was approved 3 months later.
I have paid for all the processing for my GC myself. I have a good relationship with my employer.
I am using my EAD since October 1st 2004. I am changing my employer now.
1. My Lawyer is charging me $1000 for me and my wife to notify INS about my employer change via AC-21.
2. My new employer is providing me the same services through their lawyer, with no fees.
Is it alright to let the new lawyer notify INS of employer change for me. If so, can my previous lawyer still represent me.
The reason I am asking this question is my previous lawyer was charging me $1500 to renew my H1B visa, and I feel he is all out to make money from me.
Please advise if I can use my new employers lawyer to represent me and is it ok for him to continue to represent me until the I-485 approval. My only concern was, the impression that would be created if two lawyers represented me at different times. (Until now, and From now on.)
I would appreciate any comments on this matter.
Thanks in advance.
