Change jobs while pending I485 (as a derivative/dependent)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

My wife's I485 is being filed (along with I131, and I765) as part of the October priority date movements. I am applying with her as a derivative/dependent, and my I485, I131, I765 is being filed concurrently as well. I have my own H1B visa valid until 2022. 

Can I change jobs any time OR should I wait for the EAD to be approved from my wife's AOS application (i believe the wait time for getting EAD is about 5-6 months)? I realize that my wife cannot change jobs until her EAD is approved (i.e. the next 5-6 months), but wondering if the same applies to myself as well as a derivative/dependent?
