Koolvik : answer to AC21 questions

[gc_guru]

Koolvik & all those interested.

Although I had used AC21 for changing jobs at the time of I485, no question related to any job change came up at N400 inteview for me.

Otherwise interview went very smooth just 7 minutes or so... Very methodical & organised. No extra chit chat that people mention.

FYI, this is San Jose DO.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

Congratulations and thanks GC_guru for the update. It appears that most people who either changed their jobs through AC21 or were laid off/fired after an approved 140 and 180 days of I-485 are having no problems naturalizing because there is no fraud. It appears that there is no firm number of days one should work for the sponsor after the GC as long as the applicant has worked for the sponsor for some period of time during the process.

This is great news gc_guru, Congratulations to you and I am sure your anxiety is over now. This validates the 100% approval (so far) of AC21 cases on the thread. Additionally, I have only seen the Citizesnship approvals even if you had worked for your GC Employer even for few weeks (three weeks in my case). Of course my thoughts are more liberal on this issue.. as I did not have any problem in my Citizenship journey.

This is further evidence to show that AC21 is really not an issue. I've yet to see a single report of a case being denied due to a job change or not working for the sponsor company for some preconceived 'minimum' period.

However, some have been hassled about it in the interview and had to put up a fight to defend themselves. It is just a matter of time before it will happen. It will take the right combination of factors for the first time ... an anal IO having a bad day who wants to make a point, an equally anal supervisor who thinks it is the type of blatant case USCIS can win on appeal (e.g. left 2 days after GC approval), and an applicant who is not articulate or assertive in explaining him/herself.
