My current situation:
Job Role/Designation: Programmer Analyst
Labor filed as Programmer Analyst
I-140 approved more than a year ago.
EAD approved more than a year ago and renewed and valid till 2011
H1-B extension approved and valid till 2012
I-485 Pending
After I filed my labor, I pursued my part-time graduate program to get my MBA degree and I will be graduating soon. I am interested in changing jobs and roles (a higher management role or function and also in a different area) based on my MBA on-campus recruitment. I would like to understand the following:
1. Can I actually change my job to a different role or function. For instance, as a management or strategy consultant?
2. If I cannot do 1, can I change my labor application that will allow me to include my MBA degree and there by help me secure a different job?
3. If I cannot do both 1 and 2, can I get a managerial role in the same function. For instance an IT manager.
4. What are my options that I am not seeing, if any?
5. Also, what are the things I should do to make the EAD and/or H1-B transfer smooth if I can change jobs.
Your expert advice to the above is deeply appreciated.
Thanks!
