回複：I-485遞交180天後,用EAD換工作能不能有 Gap?

請教experts: pharmacyelite, pjiang, xiaobaitu. This is the similiar case as my concern. Is the answer true?

Question: My friend filed his I485 and got laid off after receiving the receipt (after the completion of 180 days). Is he authorized to work for any employer using the EAD? He got another job offer three week later after the laid off?

Answer: If the guy is laid off more than 180 days after filing his I485, he should be able to find another job within resonable time and use his EAD when working for the new employer while waiting for the approval. I think this is called 'the portability'.

He is not out of status, his status is still going to be 'adjustment of status'. Waiting for the verdict about the I485 application.

He can continue to work using his EAD. The portability does not have anything to do with H1B or EAD, I am sure. Both should be OK.

He should inform INS about the change in workplace, at least the new address if he has to move, and get a letter from the new employer (this letter should be drafted by an immigration lawyer).

AFTER getting the Green Card, he should stay with the employer for at least 6 months, to avoid future problems with INS.

This is my view.
