Hey all,
I wanted to share this important and interesting article from an immigration law firm:
http://www.fanuslaw.com/Article.cfm?articleID=789
They place emphasis on being careful while switching jobs prior to 485 approval. This is well-known, I guess. I'm concerned, however, with switching after 485 approval. I suspect this could be troublesome when applying for citizenship later on, when they take a closer look at your whole process. Am I still confined to jobs with the description and SOC code I used in the NIW based I-140? Can't I accept promotions, managerial positions, etc.?
I filed my NIW I-140/485 last year, while a post-doc at a national lab and stayed the whole time. I got the 485 approved today and have a job lined up with a private company starting in three months
