Friends, I need some advice here. My 140 & 485 were filed EB2 concurrent in June 2004. EAD & AP for me and my spouse have been approved and FP is also completed. My employer is switching to a new attorney firm next month and have suggested that my case would be transferred to the new firm.
Will this impact my 140 or 485 in any way ? If so, how ? Is it recommended that I continue with the same attorney on my dime ?
Please advise as soon as possible...
Thanks in Advance.

If you have more confidence in ur old attorney go with him/her.

If ur employer changes attorney then they will ask u to sign
a new G-28 form. U can refuse to go with new attorney if u
wish to do so at that time.

Thanks for the advice, bodhal & fast_gc. I plan on staying with the old attorney.
 
Plus I believe many a times your attorney is the one to receive direct correspondence from USCIS and not you. It can be risky if USCIS has your old attorney's address while you switched to a newer one.

That's precisely what form G-28 does. It gives permission to
new attorney to represent ur case.
