AC21 Portability Issues
Dear Mr.Khanna,
The following are the details of my case:
1. Labor Filed: July 2002
2. I-140 & I-1485 Filed: March 2004
3. I-140 Approved: January 2005
4. H1-B 6 Years Expired: May 2005
5. Current EAD Expires: April 2007
6. Current Status: Adjustment of Status with EAD
Questions
a. Can I change my employer now?
b. Since I will not have a good relation with my employer if I leave the company, can my employer revoke my I-140?
c. If yes, will that hurt my green card process?
d. After my H1-B Expired in May 2005, I was on EAD since then. I applied for a new H1-B in March of 2006. My case was approved, but asked me to go out of the country to have it stamped.
e. As I am currently on an EAD and do not have a valid H1-B will it be a problem to change an employer?
f. If I can, change my employer, can my pay increase with the same title and job description
g. My employer who has filed for my green card made me sign a bond that says that I have to pay $20,000 if I leave before, 2 Years after I get my green card. Can he hold me for that If I leave now?
h. Assuming I am safe with the above questions, Can I be an employer and shareholder in the startup company or Is that going to be an issue
i. Assuming I am unsafe with the above mentioned conditions what would be the best process to change the company
I appreciate your wonderful services through this Site
Thank you
Sri
