Hi everybody!
I've been a silent visitor to this website.
I'm on the process of i485, waiting for ever and ever.
My WAC# is WAC02056XXXXX.
RD: Oct 1, 2001
ND: Dec 4, 2001
My employer got financially very difficult,
and I got a job offer from my new employer who said
he will sponsor the greencard. There will be no job title changes, and I'll get more salary. So, I decided to change the job, and
talked to my lawyer. And he gave me a surprise.
My lawyer says if I change a job, I have to start
the greencard process from the beginning even if there is so-called 180 days rule. He says it's because I am changing the sponsor. He says my greencard is based on my old employer, and so if I change the sponsor, I have to give up all the time and money I spent.
Is it true? If I change a sponsor(my employer), should I begin
the greencard process from scratch? I though I can continue
the i485 process if more than 180 days got exceeded.
I've waited three years for the greencard process, and I can't believe I can't even change a sponsor.
I am confused about the law. Would somebody please give me
a correct answer?
Thank you. Good luck to you all.
