I have a question about NIW application. Here is my situation:
I will graduate at the end of this year with a PhD in biology. My research area is about the visual signal transduction for flies. After graduation, i am planning to go to another university as a postdoc. And my research area will focus in something a little bit different, although fly is still my model for research.
I just want to ask, if I try to apply for NIW and submit my I-140 this March, suppose it can be approved some time end of this year, then I submit my I485 and go to the new lab doing research on the different area, is there any trouble for me? Or should I wait until I graduate and go to the new lab and then startmy green card application?
The reason why I am so eager to start my application now is that I've been here for 5 years and can get some good references around here. If I go to a new lab, I might need at least another 1 or 2 year to prove myself before I am get some good references/publications etc. In this case, it might be too long a way to go...
Thank you for your help. any advice will be greatly appreciated.
