Need help Change in Employer on EAD, I485 Pending more than 180 Days

[anandmj]

Hi,

 

I am with company A they hold my H1B. I have I-140 approved with company A and they also filed my I-485 concurrently with I-140 on July 18th 2014. My I-485 application is now pending for more than 180 days and recently got my EAD which valid till October 2015

 

I have and offer from company B and also from company C. Company B is insisting to use my EAD when I join them. 

 

Company C is going to transfer my H1B and port my green card process with them.

 

Given the above situation I need to understand:

1. Is there anything wrong in using EAD and joining B

2. I don't understand how company C can port my process. Is it effective to drop current green card process with company A entirely and start from scratch I-140, II-485 ?

 

I have a preference for Company B and if using an EAD is not a problem I will go with them

 

Please help me understand this situation.

1. nothing wrong in using EAD and joining B

2.company C does not need to start the GC process again.

 

It is better to file new H-1b as you will be out of status if I-485 gets rejected. Ask company B to file H-1b to be safe.
