AOS being submitted by my previous employer -- should I go back to my previous employer after EAD is approved

[kimivivek]

Hi 

My Previous employer (desi consulting firm) applied for my GC process and my I140 is approved with a priority date of May 2012..the immigrant petition is not revoked and still active..

my current employer (US Bank) is not willing to start my GC process until next year.

 

My question is 

1) if the dates become current and if my previous employer (desi firm) applies for my adjustment of status , then do I have to go back to the desi firm after my EAD is approved or can I wait until GC is issued?

 

Can someone throw some light on my situation?

If you no longer work for that employer, why would he apply AOS for you??

 

If that employer is filing your GC then you should work for that employer, but most of them don't.

I've a very good relationship with the firm and they have agreed, just in case if something moves faster..

Yes, you can.

The I-485 is not filed by the employer, it is filed by you,

Yes.

There must be a valid job offer from the sponsoring employer. This is normally documented by a employment verification letter.
