Hi,

Since, I have already completed 180 days after filing my I-485, I am thinking of changing my employer using protability law. But, I have following questions.

1) To make sure my appointment letter from new employer reflects the same/similar designation of what is mentioned in Labor filing, I need a copy of it. Right now I don’t have one. And my company has their own immigration department with lawyers. So, requesting for the copy after I leave the company may not be helpful. Is there any other way that I can know what’s filed with DOL?

2) After changing the job, if INS sends RFE, would it send it to me? If so, to communicate with INS thereafter do I need a lawyer? Is it possible to proceed with the processing from that stage through a different lawyer? And do I have to get all the documents from the old law firm which may not be possible since it is owned by my employer I guess.

3) After switching the employer using AC21, if I get married before my GC is approved, is it still possible to include my spouse in the processing? If so can I do that through a different law firm?In the same way can I renew my EAD and Advance parole?

4) If at all anything goes wrong by switching the employer now, what worst could happen and what’s the legal remedy for that? I just don’t want to loose the luxury of working using EAD.

5) Right now I am working as a W2 employee (salaried employee). If I switch the job can I work using 1099?

Any kind of help would be appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance.
 
1. Ask before quitting. After U quit, you can employ another lawyer to get the document from previous lawyer. Know the lawyer...
2. If U file anew G28, the future correspondence will be communicated to you or your new lawyer. U can also call INS and change the address for the specific application.
3. Yes to all ..
4. Misunderstanding abt yr new job. prove that it is similar to the one described in the GC app.
5. Poor choice... U might not get GC.
