2. Received EAD in Oct 07. AOS was filed and received by the center in August 07. I-140 (filed by Compnay A) was already approved in July 07 before AOS was filed.
3. From November 17th 2007 I was switched to the job position & salary as is in the labor at the same company A since now the EAD is received.
Queries;
1. I intend to work for company A for 6/7/8 months (180 days plus from Nov 17th 07) in this new job position per labor and than switch to another job in another company (say Company B) with similar job position using AC21 portability.
a. Will I be required to have company B file I-140 to be on the safe side?
b. My relations with company A are cordial and they will not only NOT revoke the I-140 but are also willing to continue to offer the opening for the job per the labor cert even after I port to company B. In this scenario what are the risks if any on switching jobs after the 180 days is elapsed.
c. What is the process and submittals required to be made for AC21 portability. Company B is likely to be in another City & State.
2. a.If, I start my own consulting company (after the 180 days at company A in the new job postion per above) and become self employed with the same job profile than what are the precautions I should take. I might earn twice the amount in consulting than what is on the labor. Would that be a problem?
b. Is it possible to switch to Company B and also have own consulting business?
3. Having used EAD to switch per labor, in case if there's some problem and denial of AOS for some reason can I re-capture unused time of H1B. I still have upto Oct 2009 left to complete the SIX years.
