Filing Supplement J, staying without work on EAD, H-1B denial effect on I-485
Question details
I am currently on H1-B visa (valid until Dec 2021) and my Priority date is May 15, 2010, in EB2. I am working for employer A and I have recently applied for I-485/AOS in Oct 2020. Both EAD/AP are not approved yet and haven't received biometrics notice yet from USCIS. Kindly see below questions and advise.<br>
1) If I change to employer B after 180 days of filing I-485, how would USCIS know that I changed my employer if I do not file new I-485 J that's given by employer B?
<br>
2 After getting EAD, can I stay without working for a few months? Is there a regulation that says that employment based I-485 applicant needs to work continuously after obtaining EAD?
<br>
3) I am working for a consultancy company and recently changed my client who is not within 50-mile radius of the existing MSA. My current employer A is not planning to file H1-B amendment. In this case, if there is a site visit by USCIS officer and if they revoke H1-B, then am I still considered to be in legal status because I already applied for I-485 in Oct 2020? Am I safe to stay legally in USA in this scenario even though I did not receive EAD based on AOS?
<br>
4) If H1B amendment/extension of an employee gets denied after filing AOS/I-485, is the employee still considered as in-status because of pending I-485?
FAQ Transcript
Rajiv S. Khanna firm filed my GC application in EB2 at all stages Labor, 140 and 485. This firm has very experienced, professional attorney and my application went very smooth without issues. They provided required information/documents of what needs to be filled and what needs to be sent. They filed on time and they communicated/acted very prompt and sincerly. Bharathi at 485 stage filed AOS for me and my wife and we received GC cards in record time of 3 months from filing date to receival of cards. I highly recommend this Rajiv S. Khanna firm for GC applications filing. Thank you for your great support and service in my 5years journey of obtaining permanant resident status/GC card.
