What happens if I change job before 180 days?
- Thread starter tongona
- Start date
Unless
you have the consent of your sponsoring company, it will cause some issues later. Many have taken the plunge. Some have gotten their approval and many other are still biting their nails. You need a lawyer who can defend you to the hilt if you decide to take the plunge.
generally all lawyers first say dont do it, once you inform them you did it, many decide to give you a chance anyway.
How much risk are you willing to take (and also subject your dependents to said risk...)?

According to my knowledge... Yes, It will. We need not be with sponsoring employer while processing of our GC. AC21 rule is our GC can process with some other employer after passing 180 days from RD date with existing employer.
First of all you have to convence your old employer, otherwise you need to forget your GC.( My suggestion is if you strongly believe that it will workout then only ask your employer , otherwise he will have a wrong impression on you and your GC will be like a stone in the hand of monkey).

That may not be true myimmigration:
AC21 rule of 180 days applies to the INS not the petitioner. Which means that once applied for 485, if INS cannot adjudicate your case before 180 days ( which is very unlikely ), you can change your job even on the 2nd day of receive date. So, the consent of sponsoring employer is really not an issue at all. 485 is for future employment and for the Adjustment of Status of the applicant,,, the sponsor's role is very limited here.

You can change your job any time as long as INS is taking more than 180 days

scenarios..worth your advise!
1.Has anyone actually changed jobs after 180 days of I 485 pending and got the approval? If so, what about similar occupation definition used and what salary quoted w.r.t. to previous employment? Where can you find it out precisely?
2.If one were to change jobs after one got GC, the attorneys reccommend at least 6 months of stay? How safe is ever quiting the sponsoring employer? Anyone with experieince? Can an agressive employer hold you back to the employment?
3.What are the steps once 485 is applied? Finger printing, interview etc? What do they generally expect you to have, documents -wise at the time of interview? Any questions? where do you have to go? Local INS office?
4.Can one change from having applied for I 485 to CP? How? What are the steps? What is the impact of doing so esp. if one has apllied for EAD and AP together with I 485? And what is the impact if one has started using the EAD or not started using it but has it? (Since the H1 is still valid, no need to use the EAD although obtained.
5.Applying for CP-do you have to choose one's home county consulate or can you choose Mexico?
