Hi Guys,
I am a Z. Here is my story....
I was working for a company 'X' and I was informed on 10/10/2001 that my last working day was 11/25/2001 & that I would be laid-off. I was almost ready to file my I-485 & hence I requested my company not to cancel my H1. Since they were interested in supporting me to file my I-485, they checked it out with their Immigration lawyer & found out the legal way to file my I-485 giving me an additional covering letter saying, "Z’s position in this company is still open and company would like to employ Z after the I-485 Permanent resident approval, so please process this application".
I lost my job the month after the I-485 got filed. Then I was jobless for 4 months, got my EAD and my lawyer legally advised me that I could work for any company then. Using my EAD, I found a new job that is similar and 15% lesser salary than the previous company; at a new company ‘Y' after 160 days from the day I filed my I-485 application. I have pay stubs for the past 4 months.
My previous employer and attorney are supporting my application till date. Will I get any RFE? If yes, Will I have to face any serious problem? How I can manage if there is a specific problem? Does INS know about my job status or my employer being changed? I am curious to know about anyone who had gone through the same kind of situations.
All your inputs are appreciated.
