My husband applied for I485 based on I140 outstanding researcher (I485 RD 12/18/01, RFE, transfer, then interview letter). Our interview in Baltimore is Feb. 2004.
The current employer will not sponsor him in Sept 2003, and asked him to find a job. But he is still working for the current employer now and should be OK until the interview date.
He got a job with same salary and almost same area of medical research.
His EAD is valid until April 2004.
My question:
1. Should he change job now or better after the interview?
For interview, he can ask the human resource of current institution to provide employment letter (the current boss will not provide any letter). But they can only say that he works here with title and salary, it is hard for them to say that the employment is with indefinite time. Another problem is that his boss provided the employment letter when he applied I140. Will the interview officer question why the employment letter was provided by your boss at I140, but now the letter is from the human resource? For the new employer, the boss can mention that the job is with indefinite time in the employment letter.
2. He is working on H1 now. If he moves to the new employer using EAD, is it risky? Because it takes too much time for H1 extension, he does not want to wait.
3. For extension of H1, can he apply for express service ($1000, 2 weeks)? Somebody said the express service only applies to the new application of H1, is it true?
Appreciate your help.
Happy holiday.
