I just got laid off after Christmas. My I-140 was approved in 02. My I-485 was filed in Oct 02 at TSC. I have not heard anything from TSC ever since.
1. I have been with my employer for 3 years. While I was on my Christmas vacation, I was laid off without any serverance. My unfinished vacation was converted into money compensation (only 2/3 of unfinished vacation time). My employment was a full time at-will employment. Is it legal for my boss to lay me off without serverance?
2. Do I have to find a new full-time job in order to continue the I-485 process? How about contract or self-employed work? Having my own firm?
3. During the I-485 interview, do the immigration officers ask for W2 or pay-stub?
4. I heard of AC-140. Does Hong Kong consulate accept that route? What is involved in that process? How long does it take? I have at least 1.5 years in the I-485 queue. Is it a good idea for me to switch now?
Thanks for your inputs.
