Hi Friends,

We were blessed by God to get our I-485 approved recd courtsey copy
of approval notice. Our company was merger with another company
(my 485 was past 180 days when this merger occured)

This is official update from our attorney on 180 day law:
one can work for any employer after completing 180 from the date
of filing 485 in such a case new I-140 amendment is not required.

The above rule applies to following cases (485 receipt date 180> days) :
- company name change
- company merger
- change from current employer to new employer

The new employment must have the same job description as mentioned
in LC.

I-140 amendment is required when I-485 receipt is
 
No Title

Good news. Could you help to answer two questions ?

What\'s required for filing I-140 amendment ? Is the previous priority date maintained?

Is layoff(before finding a new job) excluded in all senarios? What\'s the procedure to handle transition
in case of layoff > &

Sunil99,
Thanks for information.
Can u help to clear about what will happen to I-485 application. Can we continue to keep the same I-485 and only apply for amendment in I-140.
Thanks

For the new I-140 amendment you need to contact your employer
to file the new petition and refer to earlier LC, I-140 and I-485.
This will not change the priority date.
Layoff or change of job beyond 180 days after filing I-485 is not a problem.
If layoff for I-485 receipt
 
No Title

Hi,
Amendment I-140 will not alter I-485 infact some of my friends
who in the past applied for amendment I-140 was approved with GC
when their case date became current without waiting for I-140 to be
approved.
Technically if your 485 has to be approved in the given time frame
all they check is if there was need to file amendment I-140 and was
if filed and not wait for I-140 processing time line.

Best wishes.
