Does new job delay GC after 180 days in 485

AC-21

Maybe this will help...
My wife changed her job after 180 days using the AC-21 rule. She did not receive any RFE. The GC was processed in regular course without any interview etc. No Hassels whatsoever. There was no delay because of her job change. We had not informed the INS of the change as it is not mandatory by law. If you inform the INS you will almost certainly get an interview/RFE. That is your choice. I have read about another case where the candidate changed jobs BEFORE 180 days and was approved. The AC-21 rule is being used by a lot of people and it is perfectly legal. If you have cleared the 180 day period you may change your job and will still be OK as long as the job title and description is the same as that for which you LC was done. That is very important and also you should be able to produce a letter from your employer to this effect if needed.
As far a getting scared is concerned, that is your individual decision....
 
AC-21

The AC-21 clause states that a candidate may change his job after the completion of 180 days from receipt of the I-485 if his/her case has no been adjuducated by the INS.

We are in VA. Why are you worried? As long as you employer can provide you with a letter and you have the pay stubs you are fine. Even if you do get an interview you will be approved. Relax!! If your previous company has not informed the INS you may be approved without any RFE etc.
