Company change, pending AOS for 9-months

Hello Murthy forum,

Could you provide guidance and options for me to be able to accept a new job?

 

Immigration case

My EB2 green card priority date is May 2007.  My I485 has been pending for 9-months. Progress update: I received my EAD in Oct 2013. My finger printing was done in Nov 2013. Finally, my priority date became current Jul 2014.

 

Current state

I am current working in a technical program management role in company-A. I am on H1B. I have a job offer for technical product management role from company-B with partially similar job description and similar compensation. I want to make the move to company-B. Company-B does not support H1B.

 

What are my options to accept the offer from company-B?

 

Thank you,

Raj

Two things - green card sponsorship vs employment authorization. For the second one you need AC21 - assuming you are planning to work for B after getting your green card. For the first one, since H1B is out of question, you can either use your EAD or wait until your green card is approved - that second one requires an AC21 notification. You can file an AC21 notification with your job offer (no actual need to take the job until green card is approved).
