JNJOE Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Dear All, My EB1- C i-140 from my current employer (Say A) along with 485 (concurrent) was filed on Feb-2019. i-140 Got approved Aug-2019. I'm currently on EAD ( valid till 2021). Its now about 1.5 years since my i-140 is approved and around 1.8 years since my i-485 was filed. I received a new job offer (same managerial position) from a new employer (say B). Now, 1. To Join the new company, should i file a new i-140? or the existing approved i-140 is good? 2. Can my Employer A revoke my approved i-140? 3. Will my priority date change due to this switch? 3. Any other document should i file for accepting my new job with the new employer B? Thanks Joe Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I suspect you mean 2018. If your AOS is pending more than 180 days, you can use AC21 provisions to change employers in the same field. Get yourself a good lawyer. What you propose is possible. Quote Link to comment
JNJOE Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Dear pontevecchio, Thanks for the reply. Yes it was a typo and the year my i-140,485 was filed is Feb-2018. Do I need to file a new i-140 if i go with the new employer or does my current approved i-140 will work? Thanks Joe Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Once your AOS is on file for more than 6 months, You are allowed by AC21 provisions to change employers in the same field with "same" being roughly the same. Keep a lawyer in the loop and you will be fine. Quote Link to comment
arthur Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Am I allowed to change jobs in the time after an I-140 has been approved but before an I-485 can be be filed? I am on a L-1A visa where my employer is in the process of filing my I-140 under EB1C. My nationality-at-birth is Indian. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
Rahul7 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I am in the same situation currently. Already 2-3 employers reached out to me for hiring, but not sure if switching employer at this stage will impact the GC process. Is there any reasonable answer to this question, because I am sure there would many folks in the similar situation with huge retrogression in EB1 dates for India. Quote Link to comment
