helpme140 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 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!! Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Are you not going to involve a lawyer to cover your bases? in terms of appropriate paperwork. Link to comment
helpme140 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Absolutely, I will. When I have a new job, either the new company will have their own attorney or i will hire one myself. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 You are covered by AC21 provisions and by the time there is an RFE if any, you will have a job in a similar field. Do not worry about the new form as all the company is saying is you are working as you claim. Link to comment
helpme140 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 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!! Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 The only issue will be in case a random RFE is issued asking for proof of employment. This is VERY unlikely. You will have lots of time to find your new job. You can stay without working till the PD is current or they ask for proof of an EVL. Link to comment
helpme140 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 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? Link to comment
helpme140 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Pontevechio, Any feedback for me please? And I dont think I ever mentioned, your inputs on this forum are very valuable and concise. Thanks for your help. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I suspect that form means he is your lawyer and I see no harm. Discuss it with him if there are any specific issues. Link to comment

Without that, all paperwork would continue to go to the old lawyer. Link to comment
