I recently got a very attractive offer from a company based in LA. My worry is that if I take this offer, then probablity of my 485 case being transferred to LA local office will increase by a lot. My questions are,
1. if transfer does happen, is it a big deal? How much long it will take?
2. In order to minimize the chance of local transfer, I think I should not notify
VSC about my change of job, but is there any downside of doing so?
3. I will file AR-11 when I change address but may choose not to call VSC to
update address, as telling VSC about address change may trigger local
transfer, is this true? Am I required to update VSC with new address?
4. If I keep the lease of my current apartment in NJ (meaning I still have my
current address), even I move to LA, Do I still need to file AR-11 and
update VSC about my new address? All I am doing here is trying not to let
VSC know that I have changed job. Is it legal?
5. If I leave my current job, does my current employer have any obligation to
notify VSC that I have left, such as withdrawing my H1B and I140? What
do companies usually do when GC applicants leave?
Any comments are very much appreciated.
