USCIS policy when changing employer after 140 /485 filing?

[registrationid]

I have applied for I140 / 485 concurrent : EB2 : RIR from NSC
140/ 485: RD: 09/27/2003
FP: 05/25/2004 in Dallas ( Live in Dallas)

140 NOT APPROVED yet

If my 140 GETS approved and I have to change employer and move to a different zone, what would be the possible outcomes based on the following Scenarios:
1) If I find an employer in CSC with residential address in Tx ?
2) If I find an employer in CSC with residential address in CA?
3) If I find an employer not in CSC and not in NSC with residential address in Tx ?

- Would my 485 case get transferred to the new employer's zone?
- Would I have to go for FP again?

I ask specifically about CSC since CSC has the new faster processing rule for Employment based cases, while TSC has it only for Family cases.

Its all luck s to what they will do. Any of the following may occur:

1) Your case would be transfered to the new Service Center (in this case CSC)

2) Your case would remain in TSC

3) Your case would be transfered to a local office. (worst case, since there is no tracking for local offices, and waiting periods can take over a year in some cases.)


You would only need to redo your fingerprints, if they were expired (i.e. older than 15 months)

You should only change jobs if your I-140 is approved, and your I-485 has been pending for more than 180 days after the approval date of the I-140.

You can chage your job any time after filing 140, if your sponcering employer is not going to cancel your 140 pitition.

After approval of 140, by that time you finished 180days passed for your 485 filing then you can use AC21 and change employer.

All the best.
