u413439 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I am on L1-A visa status with approved EAD+AP. My I-484 has been approved but AOS pending as priority date is not current for Indian citizen. Due to COVID-19 economical crisis I have been laid off recently. Can I continue to live legally in USA and for how long? Quote Link to comment
u413439 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 A minor correction- I485 AOS pending status for more than 180 days. Approved and Valid EAD+AP status. Three questions: 1) Can I continue to stay lawfully in USA until I receive the GC? I am an Indian citizen and priority date isn't current for EB1-C. 2) Can I transfer my pending I-485 AOS application to a new employer? 3) How would I be able to renew EAD, AP and L1-A visa?

pontevecchio Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 1. yES. The EAD lets you work without restriction and the AP lets you travel. They will ask for proof of the original job for which the GC was approved. See 2. 2. You can use AC21 provisions to get a job in a similar field and show that when asked for proof of an underlying job. 3. Instructions for renewing EAD/AP are on the USCIS site. Visa being a stamp and you not being in L1 status now, L1 is not relevant to you from now on. I assume EB1C and I also would ask you to discuss your specifics with an Immigration lawyer.
