Change of Employer on EAD

[rita123]

Hello Guys,

I need some advise on the following immigration situation regards to

GreenCard: My Priority Date is May 2009 and me, my husband got EAD card 6

months ago. Our I-485 is pending still. I am planning to change the

employer now, when contacted my current employer regarding the same, i was

told that he will cancel my I-140. Since I have my EAD approved, am planing

to change employer on EAD status. Is it risky to change employer on EAD

with AC-21 filing( while employer cancelling I-140). Is it less risky to

change the employer on H1 and start new GC processing ? or is it better to

change on EAD with AC 21. Please advise..!!

You could do both if possible. Why did you mention it to your Employer? Make sure you get a Lawyer to guide you till the GC. A months salary, possibly half a months salary is a pittance for piece of mind. AC21 should not be a problem as long as you have a Good Lawyer on your side. In this case you will need to file the letter since your current employer is an idiot.

Hi, Thankyou for the response. IF we file AC 21, does the pay has to match from old employer to new employer. Currently i have pay difference of 2k (low) from Perm. Thankyou in advance.

It should not. But a Lawyer would be able to go over the details of both jobs and guide you as to what is the best way in view of the previous Employer threatening to revoke the 1-140. It should not affect you.
