Immg Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hi, An unemployed GC-EAD (for example 5 to 6 years) principal applicant can be eligible to port/switch job to new employer?. Can anybody throw some light on this situation. Appreciated any suggestions if anybody have any information on this situation. Thanks, Immg. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Once your AOS is pending 180 days plus, you can change jobs in the same or similar field. You should consult a lawyer under the circumstances. Quote Link to comment
Attorney_15 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 AC21 Green Card portability is available when the I-140 is approved and the I-485 is pending for at least 180 days and the I-485 applicant takes a new job in the same or similar occupational classification as the original job offered. If, however, the I-485 applicant's I-140 petition is still pending (and not approved) then there may be an option to still use AC21 Green Card portability but there are significant risks of failure because the I-140 petition must eventually be approved. And in such a situation it is especially important to consult with an attorney sooner rather than latter, Quote Link to comment
