Layoff while I-485 pending

Hello,

Here is the situation

1.) I-485 pending for EB2 India since March 2012

2.) Never changed employers since April 2007

3.) Company may dissolve, hence may lose job

4.) No valid H1b since 2013

5.) Working on EAD ever since. Current EAD valid till Feb 2019.

What are the options?

1.) Do I need to get a job right away?

2.) Or I can stay without a job in the country based on the pending 485? Just don't want to rush and get into some job, need to find a good one.

3.) I understand the new company must be ready to sign the Supplement J when the RFE comes and I need to find a job in a same or similar position or it should have similar description of duties. Is there anything else to take care of?

Please let me know.

Thanks!!

Thanks Pontevechio. Correct, I need a job in similar field.

But, if it so happens that I do not find that suitable job and need to stay home for some time, does that have any negative effect on mine or my spouse's 485?

I just want to know if there is a "set in stone" number of days one can stay without a job on a pending 485 without impacting the application.

Thanks!!

Thanks very much. Another question - a new attorney, when takes over the case, is the step of them sending a G-28 on my and the spouse's 485 a mandatory one?

Yes. The G28 tells them who is representing you. Without that, all paperwork would continue to go to the old lawyer.
