Concurrent Filing - Using Cross Chargeability

Radd, dbins, gurus please reply

Hello Gurus,
just want to ask a dumb questions. If I-140 is approved and 485 is pending for 6 months, I understand that you can change jobs using AC-21, but I want to know if there are still some constraints on the new job like the salary has to be higher than what mentioned in I-140/labor ? Is that true? any other constraints?
Thanks

Yes there are certain constraints.. Best if you look at the AC 21 thread for this... The ones that I know are that new job scope/roles/responsibilities have to be 95% same as what the LC mentioned. Salary.. not sure about higher but definitely not lower.

I haven't got that message either.. do you think that's what's holding all our cases?

Radd...no sure..dont think nitin or bbking got this...some folks who got approval had LUD's without any mesg change...FYI...
I had couple of LUD's without any mesg change and my current msg
is as follows

was received on .................. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. Follow the the link below for current processing dates.

Radd/Dbins,
I haven't seen that message either. Despite the LUDs a week or so ago for the address change, the message stayed the standard generic 'recd on ...we will mail you..'.
For some reason I feel that they wouldnt have issued the AP documents without the FP and name check, but I may be way off here and the things are completely unrelated. Dbins, overboard and you seem to the next ones if bbking has been any indication....
 
Looked up some similiar cases and good news arrives around or after the notice date..so am hoping for one after 21st

I really hope and pray it's true...

I'm trying to be very positive but this guessing game is really making me crazy... I'm checking mails and this thread whenever possible.. which is on the avg like abt 30 mins!!!!!

Hey guys, anyone hear from Navneet again? Wonder what happ to his papers..
Nope no idea. I hope that his papers got accepted...last I remember it was the NSC that sent them back.
 
I have some rather naive questions...

What is the connection between AC-21 and EAD ?

If 485 has been pending for 6 months can one use the EAD to go to a different job ? or is EAD only applicable for 'multiple jobs but no severance
of the tie with the sponsoring institution' ?

thanks in advance

I guess you should ask for that. They should file 765 and 131 for your wife too..

Nary a whisper...

Another weekend come and gone. I've been crossing my fingers so hard I think I've given myself carpal tunnel.
On the bright side, the time is quite ripe for at least one of us with March filings to see some movement or approvals. Fingers crossed....(ouch)
 
no new updates from my end..I remian in hope to see some change after 20/21...though...have not seen any march filers getting approved yet
