Gurus, Do I need original I-485 receipts in-order to search job outside my employer? My status is
 
I want to know this too!

Experts please advise. This a problem if the current employer (or lawyer) doesn\'t give the original which is with the lawyer.
 
485 receipt won\'t help

You do not have to show 485 receipt. Actually fewer companies are concerned with your receipt. What they need to know is if you are really an adjustee, and--most important, if you have an EAD.
 
i-485 has got nothing to do here...

There is no relationship with i-485 receipt and finding a new job. Your EAD may help here but not the i-485 receipt.

i-485 receipt is to justify your immigration status of "Adjustment of Status" while EAD is the employment authorization document that demonstrates that you can legally work in this country.

You can stay in the country on the basis of i-485 but you cannot legally get a job.
 
Should we carry original I-485 receipt?

Is it required to have or carry original I-485 receipt? Mine is with the lawyer!
 
You can legally demand your receipt

You can definitely demand to get your i-485 receipt. You do not necessarily have to carry it always with you. But that piece of paper is your proof for AOS (Adjustment of Status).
