tarunparmar Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hi, I have a few questions about my i-140 state: 1] How soon can I quit after my i-140 is approved? 2] My i-140 notice date is June 30 2015, and my company is going through tough time and may do layoffs in a month or may be less from now. Am I eligible to do premium processing at this stage and Should I go ahead looking at my company situation or rather wait for another month to see if it gets approved? 3] If I secure a job in a month from now, should I expect any priority date portability issues? My priority date is Nov 25 2015 and I am currently on H1B. Thanks and Regards, TP Link to comment

tarunparmar Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 After the I-140 is approved, can I switch jobs right away? I heard something about EAD that needs to be applied after 140 is approved and can only switch after getting EAD. Please advise. Link to comment

You can switch immediately but you risk employer revoking approved I-140. Link to comment
Umesh T Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 1. EAD is applied for only with/after your I-485 2. When you switch jobs, your new eployer should already have an approved H1 work permit for you, so your old employer can't do anything. 3. Your new employer will have to file PERM, and I-140 all over again but you retain your priority date from the *earliest* I-140 that was approved. Link to comment
