Please Explain !! Concurrent Filing-180 Day Clock ???
Dear Experts,
I am having difficulty to understand the concept of 180 day clock in concurrent filing.
As I understand, according to existing rules prior to concurrent filing, I can change jobs 180 days after I filed for I-485. I could only file for I-485 if my I-140 is approved.
With concurrent filing, I can file for both I-140 and I-485 together (or in our case we filed for I-485 2 month after filing I-140). My question is:
The 180 day period of waiting before switching jobs starts when???
1. Does it start from the day I filed for I-485 ? or
2. Does it start from the day my I-140 is approved ?
Please take time to respond to questions. I would appreciate it if you could mention whether the response you give is based on the advise of your attorney or not.
Thank you very much
