Dear Sir/Madam
RE: SFW 000000 , A#, Wannabe Immigrant, I485 under AC21
I had been working for companyA from StartDate using H1B visa
(latest H1 receipt SFW ). companyA applied for labor certification for the job of LCJobName on veryOldDate. The OCC code of the Job was 030.062.010 per the Onet classification (SOC: 15-1030) for a salary of $verylowAmount per annum. The responsibilities of LCJobName included Analyzing business and engineering data processing problems, designing and implementing a solution and test the developed systems.This Labor Certification was approved on aVeryLongTime. Based on this approval an application for immigrant visa (I140) was made on aLittleTimeLater. This application was approved on aLongAgo. I applied to adjust my status to permanent resident status on aFunDate. My Employment authorization document was approved on areallyFunDate.
According to the memo dated June 29 2001 on the American
competitiveness in the Twenty First Centrury Act and related
legislation, from the Office of the Executive Associate commissioner of Legacy INS, change of employment is permitted in cases of
lengthy adjustment adjudication. That memo lists two preconditions
for eligibility to change jobs- I485 is pending unadjudicated for 180
days or more and the new job is in the similar occupational
classification as the job for which the certification was initially made
in section 106(c).
I joined companyB at mycurrentHome on 180DayDate ( approx. xxx
days from the receipt date of I485) as a newJobName for a salary of
$highAmount per annum. The job responsibilities include Analyze
business and engineering data procesing problems,
design,implement and test the developed systems. Please find
attached a letter from companyB regarding the employment offer,
Job title , job description and salary.
Pursuant to the guidelines of the memo cited above and my
eligibility based on the fact that my I485 application has been
pending unadjudicated for more than 180 days and the new job is in
the similar occupational classification (SOC code 15-1051), I request
that BCIS continue processing my I485 application. I also request
that my I485 application be approved based on the provisions of the
American Competitiveness of 21st century signed as law on October
17, 2000 and adjudicate favorably.
I would be glad to provide any additional information required by
you.
Yours Truly
Wannabe Immigrant
