OK. Say Company A ready to take the person on as a full-time consultant (40 hours/wk). And also Company B is ready to hire the same person at 40 hrs/wk. Since, there are plenty of jobs out there that the person can work "remotely" or from home. Once the GC is approved the person will still want to continue on with Comppany A (GC sponsorer) and Company B (non-GC Sponsor)
Can the person work 2 jobs on an EAD? Of course one of the jobs is with the sponsor company while GC processing is ongoing. Is this situation possible? |

Gettinggc & Others-
Say one has I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for more than 180 days. Say Company A is the GC sponsoring company and is employed full-time (40 hrs a week). Is it possible than for this person to add on another job by Company B full-time (if both parties agree- Company A and B) saying now the person will work 20 hrs in Company A and 40 hrs in Company B. Assuming Company A does not revoke the I-140 application... is this situation allowed?
Does AC-21 need to be invoked in this situation? Not sure, because now the person is still employed with the sponsoring company and working really 2 jobs- The change only is in the full-time status- Consultant at Company A and a full-time new add-on position in Company B. |
Topic: EAD renewal
I understand EAD renewals have to be done 6 months prior to expiry. But does the 1-131 document have to be renewed as well? Or can the travel doc be renewed anytime? Not sure... What other docs have to be renewed prior to I-485 approval? |

What happens in the case that an approved I-140 is revoked? and the AC-21 filed for the new company. Say MTR is performed because of NOID issued.
Whats the next step? Does the beneficiary now have to refile the I-140 again? (If so, could this be done by keeping the PD and RD intact and current?) |
Topic: AC21 - Quick Reference !!
If the I-140 is withdrawn by the original employer, does the beneficiary have to reapply the I-140 from scratch, after filing the AC-21? Or is it so, that due to the portability rule it is automatically ported to the new employer once the I-140 is withdrawn by the original employer? |

Magicsword, and/or others-
Looks like the major concern is here:
"When approved I-140 is withdrawn after I-485 is pending for 180 days, USCIS will send the beneficiary a NOID. "
Is this scenario documented anywhere in the "AC-21 quick references" ? Or is this one of those uncertain imaginable exceptions...Not sure...
It seems really strange that the company just withdraws the I-140? Is this only because of pre-determination that the sponsoring company's "inability to pay" since "too many I-140s are being filed"? What if the employee is responsible for the GC process costs? It's hard to digest that USCIS will "force" companies to withdraw the I-140, in the case that its possible that the employer is responsible for GC process costs.
Simple rule and no exceptions is that - If I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for 180 days, you can file AC-21 and ....
The employer technically should not be able to withdraw or revoke an approved I-140 with/without an I-485 pending for 180 days... True? |

Thanks for all your replies.. This is by far one of the best posts in terms of exchange of information. Anybody know, how much does it cost to file AC21? |
