Friends,

My story doesn't end there....I am on my 8th yr H1B and the I-140 that I got approved is from my previous employer...from where I got laid off during August 2004. But they agreed to support my I-140 petition and assured me that they would not revoke my GC process (my sincere thanks to them). I had worked with them for little over 5 years before I was let go. At the time I was let go, I was in my 7th year H1B.

Based on my original pending LC, I received the 8th year H1B extn from a new employer and I have restarted the whole process a third time now (stuck with state labor again and was thinking of PERM now).

So, with this case, am I eligible for AC21??

If YES:

1. Should I pro-actively inform USCIS about my job change. OR
2. Should I wait to see if I get a RFE on my 485 and then respond to it with AC21 documentation. OR
3. Just remain silent and hope for a 485 approval in the mail.

Pls. advise.
