Hello,

I am considering changing job when my NIW 485 is pending. The new job may be different than the current one.

I applied NIW based on the nature of the current job. When INS processes my 485, is it possible that INS will require an employment verification letter in order to check that I am still doing the same job?

I fully understand that in theory, I need to stick to my current job. However I was wondering if they actually enforce that rule in practice or not.

If anyone had real experience, please share, especially cases in TSC.

Thank you very much.
 
My question, too. As far as the know the other job must be in the same field as was the basis for the I-140 application. Any inputs will be appreciated.
 
My NIW case (I-140 approved from CSC, I-485 filed to VSC because changed job) was transferred to local office, on the interview they asked me for EVL and I gave it to them. The officed just put the EVL into my file. Similar EVL (new job) I submitted when filing I-485. However my new job is about same...

Just my 2cents: I think it is ok to change the job as long as you work in the exact same field as you did before. But on the other side the whole GC process takes very long and is very tedious and painful and so even if I could change my job within the same field never think about doing it before I don't have the GC in hand. Don't give the USCIS even the slightest chance of making trouble for you by doing something risky. I know some jobs and bosses can be really painful but be forced to leave the US because of not getting the GC because of such an issue might be more painful. And if you don't even plan to stay in the same field I wouldn't even start thinking about it.
Just my opinion and I know other people think different about this whole issue.

Thats some sensible thinking. I kind of agree with you, but Monday morning when I say Hi to my boss, I really have second thoughts. Another week of misery!!! Anyway, thanks for your opinion.
