Hello Gurus,
I am EB3 India with PD September 2002.

After all these years of endless waiting I am called for
an interview at the local office in Philadelphia
in Nov 26th 2007.

Here are my details:
Labour Applied: September 2002
Labour approved: September 2003
I-140/I-485 Applied: April 2004
I-140 Pproved: August 2004
Got married: August 2005
Applied I-485 for Wife: June 2007
Current Status of Wife: H1-B
Countelss EADs and APs for me and a recent EAD approval
for my wife with her AP still pending and status is still H1-B.

In the beginning of this year, I resigned from the
company who was the original sponsorer of my GC.
I then started contracting on hourly basis and worked for
a decent hourly rate for the first half of this year.
Finally I got a full time offer with decent salary and
benefits and took the job. I started working for this
job - remotely and also took up another contracting job
on an hourly basis (Got greedy as I waited too long :))
and started working on both these jobs.
The point is - it is a different technology and not even
remotely connected to my original job where my Labour
cert was applied and approved. I was a developer
back then and with all the experience, I couldn't
continue as the pay was too low and no growth at all.

I can have a letter of future employment that
states that I have on offer in the same technology
in which my original labour was applied and approved
and that is not a problem at all.

Please advise me on how to go about it. I can
afford to pay and take the best attorney with me
to the interview - some one who is very well known in
the Philadelphia area.

Any inputs/advise are really appreciated.

IMP: Icing on the cake - my PD was mentioned wrong in
the interview notice - it says april 2004 !!
That was when my i-140 was applied and not labour.
My labour was applied in September 2002 !!!
Advise on this is also appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
 
I strongly feel you should be ok here.

I know a friend who had a similar situation except that he lost his job when the company that sponsored him closed the doors for business. He was asked for all the pay stubs from the time he applied for green card till the time his company closed. He also employed an attorney just to be safe.

You say you can still get a letter of "future employment" from your employer that filed the green card. That would the best bet. Green card is for future employment and an applicant has the ability to wander as much as he wishes and still be safe when the sponsoring employer has a job for him.

I wish you good luck. I hope you get advice from other members of this forum and lead you to take the right decision.
 
People really got used to this retrogression section during retro time and still seems to want to stick to it,
It's your choice where you post your question, but don't you think you can get more response in I485 section ?
