I will be laid off on 25th Sep 2003. Got notice from employer. I had filed 485 in Dec 2002 and got EAD in Feb 2003. Please suggest/advise me. I am trying to get a job on the basis of EAD now.

*. Is there any time period before that i should get job? i mean what is the limit of days i can live in this country without job?.

* my spouse who is on H4 ( we had filed her 485 im May 2003 but still waiting for her EAD and advance parole).If I join new job on EAD ,what will be the status of my spouse?

* Will my greencard processing be stopped if i join new employer?

*what document should i collect from cuurent employer before going for another job?.
 
Hi,

You can use AC21 Portability act to join another employer and your GC is fine and will continue to be processed with the new employer provided your job is same. Location is not a constraint. But the question is how soon you will find another job?

You can try umbrella companies where your position is secure. The only catch is that you have to find a project immediately. There are 4 to 5 umbrella companies which I know and they take 5% commission and will give you 95% back if you have project.

As far as I am concerned you are fine and absolutely dont have problem. Please always put your thoughts and do not make a decision based on my suggestion. I am only suggesting and it's upto you to make a decision based on several inputs/feedback from individuals like me and what you feel is right as per your heart/brain:-)

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thanks,
LILUS
