Hi,
My status is as follows:
I-140 and I-485 filed concurrently.
I-140 approved at the end of September, 2003. I-485 filed Nov 2, 2002 and still pending.
My previous understanding is that if I get fired at this moment, I can seek employment because my I-140 is approved and my I-485 was filed more than 6 months ago.
But, today my lawyer said that is changed. So, one has to have atleast 6 months after the approval of I-140 before one can seek a different employer.
Is this true? In my case, am I safe as in being able to search for a job if I get fired today?
Thank you in advance for answering my questions.
