Hi Guru
I got my I-485 approval 2 weeks back, and I had changed jobs in Feb (after 2 years of I-485 Receipt)
My lawyer advised me to file it solely for the purpose of no issues during citizenship, which I thought was not of primary concern to me at that point as would have delayed my case more.
Now when I have the approval, my lawyer still thinks its a good idea to file for AC21 to be protected. Does it make any sense? should i do it now??


Thanks

AC21 is about chnaging jobs while 485 is pending. I can't understand why/how lawyers would suggest doing that after 485 approval. :confused:

This whole thing about issues at time of citizenship etc is a overblown myth. :eek:

INS law is a joke!

For example, if you have worked in the sponsoring ccompany for many years, but got laid off just one day before the I485 approval, of course, you have no similiar job offer, then your approved GC will be revoked by INS.
While, if you apply for a future position in a company, and never worked for it, you can change your idea and work for another company after the GC approval. That is, if from the beginning, you planned well on a fraud case, you will win; if you are honest, you will lose if bad luck comes.
 
Changing job before or after GC approval has nothing to do with fraud. It is just a matter of choice. Everybody is fully aware that you can change job before 485 approval(AC21)- so why can't you cahnge job after. There is no law that states it is fraud or anything. :eek:

sb_tiger,
is right, AC21 holds only if I-485 pending for 180 days and not for After I-485 Approval.
you should file AC21 when you changed job before 485 approval if you are worrying about citizenship things.
AC21 is for I- 485 pending only and not for 485 approval.

AC-21 “Similar Job” clause

Friends,
I have a question on AC-21 “Similar Job” clause. My employer filed Labor in May 2001 in which he mentioned my duties as .. Design and code the applications using Developer/2000 Visual Basic 5.0 … etc. but I no longer use these technologies at client place, which is offering me a full time employment.

Question : After taking full time employment with client, Is it ok to mention new technologies like Java (instead of VB and Developer/2000) in EVL (Employment Verification Letter)?

My Details:
ND (I-140) – 2/2003
AD (I-140) – 12/2003
ND (I-485) – 2/2003

thanks,
GC2005 :confused:
