Pls advice me which is correct about AC21

[divakarap]

Filled I-140 & I-485 separately at Vermont under EB2. I-140 in July & 485 in Dec'03. My I-140 was approved.

Now i am likely to get fulltime offer. When can i change my employer?

I thought after 181 days of my I-485 filling. That is in July'04. But some one told me 181 days from the date of I-140 approval.

Which is correct?

Please advice me

Hi ginnu,

I am also looking for this point to be cleared. When i talk to one of my friend, he highlighted this point, because he found some queries at the end of 485 processing.

AC21 Portability stating that only 180 days from 485 filling. But my friend saying simple filling 485 don’t matter to INS, because INS didn't work on your 485 till your 140 is approved. In some cases INS questioned that, where you have given chance to work on your 485? You changed the employer with in 180 days. So your intensions are wrong from the beginning.

This is total gray area.
