I485 pending - Job change from Engineer to Programmer

[rmirza77]

Hi experts,

My I485 is pending since Jan 2012. PERM is for Engineer. I want to change my profession from Engineer to programmer with the same employer. This is NOT same or similar job.

What is the process and how to go about it ?

I was told I need to file a new PERM and I140 and attach it to my pending I485.

Is it the correct procedure ?

And how can we attach new I140 to pending I485 file ?

Will it cause any problems (or) risks ?

* What should be the profession on EAD ? one stated in PERM ?

Suggestions are highly appreciated !!

Well, it's not you who needs to do those things, but your employer. Your employer needs a new LC, and when a new I-140 is filed, all the fileds simply need to be fileld in properly with the information about your pending case. That's all. EAD is a blanket work authorization (yes, you can work at McDonalds with it).

Thanks for the information!

Might have to go for another lengthy process.
