Hi all,
My husband is a US Citizen and we just filed my I-485 two weeks ago, along with an application for EAD (I-765). The I-130 is already approved. I am currently on a Hi-B visa. My questions are:
1. While I am waiting for my green card, can I switch employers? I expect I will receive my EAD in the next 2-3 months. Is it ok for me to change my job once I get my EAD? I found a lot of posts on this for people who applied for their green card through their employer (I-140) but not for folks like me who were sponsored through their spouse (I-130).
2. Now that my status is I-485 pending (AOS), can I leave my job i.e. let go of my H1-B status? This would mean that I would be in AOS status - is that legal? Are their any risks involved?
Thanks for all your help!
