I am one of the early June filers and I am planning to use AC21 for job change. I am sure this information would be very helpful to others as well who are thinking in these lines.

Before I move on I wanted to get all the docs I would need from the company. There is one issue, they will not give me the originals for 140 and 485, and if I have to get that they will ask me to pay for the all GC expenses they have incurred so far.

As of now I have these docs.

1. Copy of 485 receipts.
2. Copy of I 140 receipts.
3. Original I 140 courtesy copy [New company lawyer told me it will not substitue the original I 140 receipts]
4. Original 797s for all my H1s
5. Original EAD and APs
6. All my pay stubs for 180+ days after filing of 485, and tax returns for previous years.

Do you gurus see any issues with not having the originals? Or I'd need any other docs before I move on.

I have read in some threads that one can request copies of receipts from USCIS. Can someone please post the details on how to request the receipts again?

Your docs look fine. I would not push for the I-140 since you have no right to that, but the I-485 is your petition and you have a right to the original receipt.
 
Thanks a lot RealCanadian.

Another Q regarding the differance in Pay. My Labor was filed for salary of X around end of 2002. Currently I am making around 1.4X with same company and 485 was filed with LOE mentioning the same pay in east coast. My new offer is for 25-30% more than my current salary ( 1.8X ) in Bay Area. Do you think it will be a major issue for AC21?
