Hello,
My I-140 was approved in Nov 2004 and we opted for the consular processing at that time( which made sense at that time!). Now with the retrogression and priority dates, is it possible for me to get a EAD by changing from CP to I-485? I called up my attorney and one more attorney and they seem to feel it can be done. The basic reason why I am doing this is to get a EAD and be able to change the employer.
Can anybody suggest me whether this can be done in first place and if yes what might be the dis-advantaged. My wife is also on H1 and her labor is pending. If I do the above is it going to affect her in any ways?
Any comments appreciated.
