Can I change my profession after getting a Green Card? I received my GC in EB2 as an Accountant. Now, I see the salaries in the software/IT sector to be much higher.
Sure, you can change your profession as long as you did not have a pre-conceived intention to do so before you got your green card. I cannot say that there is any particular time frame attached to it.

I wish to assess my eligibility for the EB-1A category. I have a B.Tech., M.Tech., and Ph.D. from India, and I just finished a postdoc in the USA. I am currently employed in India as an associate professor at a good university.
The following are my credentials.
1. I have over 25 publications in international journals and conferences that have undergone peer review.
2. I review articles for three high-quality journals.
3. I currently have 358 citations.
Just looking at the numbers is not enough. We need to look at the overall resume.
