Folks,
Here is a brief description of my Green Card process:
Used to work for company "A" (from March 99 to Sep. 2000). Quit that company & joined company "B" (from Sep. 2000 to date). Company "B" did not file for my Green card for about an year as they had no budget to sponsor my Green Card process. Contacted old company "A" to file for my Green Card as an intended future employee. They agreed with one condition that I will pay all expenses. I said ok. They substituted me for an already approved Labor & filed I-140 (Oct. 2001). I-140 approved in Jan 2002. Company "A" filed for I-485 in March 2002. Got an RFE from INS 3 months ago asking for current employment letter & pay stubs. My attorney submitted Letter of Employment & current pay stubs from company "B" and showed my case to be "portable" to company "B" under AC21 rule ( I-485 pending for more than 180 days). I have already gone for fingerprinting twice & recently applied for EAD renewal for the third time. Now I have few questions:
1) Is my case really "portable" to company "B" under AC21 act? Will I have any issues during interview time?
2) Do I need any documents from company "A" ?
3) What documents should I take for interview?
4) Should I hire an attorney for interview (my previous attorney is based in a different state, so he can not come) ?
5) Would I have any issues during citizenship time?
I will really appreciate your quick answers/comments as my interview is scheduled in next 10 days. You guys have always been a great help. Wish you all good look.
Thanks.....
