Hi,
Filed 140 and 485 concurrently in Nov 02.
140 approved in Feb 03.
EAD, AP approved.
Currently I am on H1. Same company sponsoring my GC.
Intend to change employer and go no EAD.
Present co. may not exist beyond 2-3 months.
May get a new offer shortly.
1. Do I need to notify BCIS as soon as I start a new job. While some advise to be proactive others advise to wait until an RFE is raised. Please advise what are the pros and cons.
2. While taking the new offer or at any point in the future what would my new company be required to do? As I understand the only requirement from them is issuing a letter to whomever concerned, confirming my employment, my salary and job responsibilties that should more or less match my original labor appl.
Is anything else required?
3. Technically speaking is my new co. sponsoring / supporting my green card application?
4. Can anybody send links to any official site stating the section of the AC21 law that implies that it is OK to switch companies while 485 is pending - wish to remain prepared in case new co's HR dept needs to be convinced.
5. My EAD expires around 15 Jan 04. I need to file for extn. shortly. I intend to join new co within 2-3 weeks. Should I file for extension before I join new co or after. Does it matter at all?
Thanks in advance-
