My I-485 is pending for a year now. I am seriously thinking to change over to CP now. Someone suggested me to go for "attorney certified copy (or AC I-140)". I was told I should able to get my GC through this process within 2-3 months. He provided me following link:
http://imminfo.com/Knowledgebase/FAQs/ACI140.html#2. What is an attorney certified copy (or%20AC%20I-140)
The above URL says that I-485 processing will continue till INS
asks whether you wish to withdraw the I-824 or the I-485. If that occurs before the immigrant visa interview, then you may withdraw the I-824 and keep the adjustment of status on file. Nothing happens automatically.
It looks like to me a safe move.
Although, I have not changed my employer but I am using EAD. This is our company policy to cancel H1B, once you get EAD. I have used only 18 months on H1B of total 6 years. I am an Australian citizen but born in India.
I would appreciate your comments/opinion. Regards,
