I-485

[federale86]

It appears that your employer was taking advantage of you. No chance for 245(i) though for you. Just go home and try another way, or apply for asylum or marriage to USC.

Looks like you got an approved I-140 and filed an Adjustment of Status with work authorization etc. According to AC21 (your lawyer should explain), you are allowed to leave your sponsor as long as the I-140 AND I-485 had been pending for at least 180 days when you left the original sponsor. Also, the new employment must be the same or similar to the one you were sponsored for (same job duties, similar/same salary, etc).

Exception to this would be those EWIs who satisfy section 245(i) eligibility qualifiers. Yes, including employment-based AOS applications.

[federale86]

In any event, EWIs cannot adjust status in the U.S. based on an employment visa.

[Rough Neighbor]

Two things in my opinion. First, filing of I-765 and issuance of I-766 (EAD) by itself doesn't bestow immigration status, even as filing of an I-485 doesn't "fix" prior immigration infractions, and the chance of approval is outright nil. (Except of course if the alien is section 245(i) eligible). Second, no, the regs "don't require" the alien to work for the employer during the PERM/I-140 processes because it's more of an employment offer than an actual employment arrangement.

i gave his company 12 years, i came to this country looking for a better living not slavery..thats why i left

[federale86]

Now we get the facts. 2 years not working with your sponsor? Bad boy, bad boy, sheriff man come for you.

[valpointexas]

it is not a visa, i came iligaly to this country, then i found an employer willing to help me out to get my legal situation straight.
He and I went through the whole posting the job on the news paper then on the America's job bank. after no qualifiying individuals and har word from my attorney i was granted a work permit, no is time for me to go to an interview face to face and im not sure if the fact that i am not with the same employeer can hurt my case.

[floyd]

hi Val, quick question,were you an H1 visa with the previous employer? If so, how long were you with them before moving on?

[ProudUSC]

Hi Val,

I don't understand your situation enough to help, but I'm sending best wishes your way that you'll be able to stay in the US. Take care.

[valpointexas]

i was thinking about that as well, but what's weird is that i have been with my new employer for two years now and they just renew my EAC last month.
Besides, i am working legaly so there should be no reason bu the "arrest" scenario since i have done nothing wrong, at least i hope Im going to see my attorney next week and my iterview is the second week of July.

[federale86]

It appears that this is a pretext letter. They already know that you are not working for your registered employer. You will probably be arrested at this "interview." ICE and USCIS work closely on cases like this. Don't go to the interview.

[valpointexas]

Hi Pro,
thanks for taking the time to help me out!
Right now my status is legal/non resident. i have work a permit that expire once a year and i have to renew, the interview is "to register permanent residence or adjust status". and my main concern is that i no longer work for my sponsor.

[ProudUSC]

Hi Val and welcome,

What is your current status and what is the interview for?
