pulibidda007 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I filed my I-485 AOS along with I-765 EAD and I-131 AP with a receipt date of Nov 5th, 2019. The current processing times for EAD+AP is between 5.5 and 7.5 months. However, I reckon that I could change jobs if my AOS has been pending for 180 days and continue the process with my new employer, provided the job is similar and such. My questions are: 1. Can I change employers after 180 days even if I don't receive my EAD? 2. My H1B is valid till Nov 2021 and I do have the Visa stamp. I will be transferring my H1B to the new employer after 180 days. Is this OK? 3. What happens to my EAD if I receive it after I change employers on H1B? Thank you. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 1. Yes, if you get H1 status 2. Yes, if the employer files and gets an H1 petition approved for you. 3. It remains available to you Quote Link to comment
pulibidda007 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Awesome. Thank you. This opens up a whole lot of possibilities. Quote Link to comment
pulibidda007 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Just another follow up question. Say I get my EAD before 180 days, do I still have to wait 180 days before changing employers? What happens if my interview is also done within 180 days and change employers after that? Thanks again.
