Friends:
I have filed for 485 on 1/14/01, EAD was approved on 5/9/01.
However, my company may be acquired by another company.
Do I need to refile I-140 AND I-485 ??

Appreciate any ideas
Thanks

You definitely don\'t need to refile 485. As per current regulations, you would be required to file an amended 140 showing that this takeover satisfies successor-in-interest requriements. However, a lot of people feel that once INS issues AC21 interpretation, you may not be required to do even that. This is so because AC21 allows you to switch jobs after 6 months as long as the new job is similar.
I suggest you go ahead and spend the $200-300 to file 140 to be on the safe side since your company was acquired before you had 6 months on 485. Ask your company to pay for it.
