Filing AC21 - GC with Future Employment - URGENT PLEASE
Hello,
I am in a tough situation and not sure how to handle it. I work for Company B on H1B and my GC was filed with Company A as a future employment. I received EAD from Comapny A and they asked me to join on EAD. I refused to join on EAD and told them I will join after getting GC. My future employer didnt like it and he hasnt been responding to my emails and calls.
I received an RFE and USCIS is asking for employment verification letter for current job. Since my future employer is not responding, can I invoke AC21 and transfer my GC to my current employer Company B who is holding my H1B?
My I485 receive date was June 5th, so my 180 days will be over after first week of Dec. Please help me and advise how I can continue with this GC.
Also, after doing AC21, do I lose the H1B status automatically?
Can someone please advise me on this?
Thank you so much for your help.
Invoking AC21 - Need Help!
Gurus/Friends,
My PD is 27 Sep 2008 and receipt date is 18 Jan 2012. I am thinking about using AC21. I have few questions around same or similar job and would really appreciate your input in this regard
I am working for a client (Company B) through Consulting Company (Company A). Company A have sponsered my GC and its been more than 1 year since I-485 was filed. I have a great FTE opportunity with the client. According to my labor, my current title is Computer Systems Analyst (SOC:15-1121) and available job is IT Architect. I will still be an individual contributor, job description might be slightly different and pay might be considerably higher. I have below questions before considering with this option.
- Is this considered to be similar job?
- Do we have to notify USCIS on job change?
- If we do, do we have to wait for a Response from INS informing the AC21 has been accepted or denied to take the new job?
- Pros and Cons of AC21?
I really appreciate your help & time in this regard!!
Thanks.
AC21 question - Sorry for posting here
Hello Gurus - Q/Kanmani/vizcard/Spec and Others... Need your expert opinion.
Please apologize for posting this question here..Please move it to the appropriate thread sometime tomorrow.
My PD is June 2008 (there is a possibility my date could be current in the next bulletin...)
I work for a Desi consulting company...Might get a good offer from another company this week. Say I accept the offer and join around the last week of August...
My question(s):
1. Should I file proactive AC21? Did anyone who filed AC21 recently get unnecessary RFE as suggested by some attorneys?
2. According to me the advantage of filing proactive AC21 is that it will minimize the possible RFE coming as a result of revocation of 140 by my current company. Is it correct?
3. Say my employer sends the 140 revocation request after my AC21 is already sent, would USCIS know to ignore it?
4. Basically I don't want to risk anything being so close to GC and with my case being most likely already pre-adjudicated.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
