Yes ..my I140 has been approved 6 months back, Do I have to fillup AC21 form or my new employer will take care ...Please reply to me..I will appreciate.

There is no special form for AC21 use. Your new lawyer can take care of it. It is informing USCIS about the change in employer, that your case is pending for more than 180 days, that your new job is same/similar to old job.

If you are unsure, you can hire a lawyer to do it for you. Employer could care less about it as it is your I485 petition, employer is definitely off the hook other than providing supporting documents.

Thanks for this information ...Do I have to finish all this tasks before joining to new company or Can I do that after joining to my new company. Please help me out ...If I hire lawyer & tell my problem, he will take care of preparing AC21 and G28 form ...

How much is going to cost to hire lawyer in order to papared AC21 and etc...

Google and look up forums on what needs to be done. Informing USCIS about AC21 is a simple thing and many people do it themselves. You just have to do some hoework and gather information from the internet forums. There is already plenty of info available on the forum. I think I might have even posted a sample. Do your homework or hire a lawyer. May cost 150-500 $$. It is half an hour worth of work. No big deal.

A letter that identifies the relevant sections of the law that allows you to use AC21, a new offer letter from your "permanent" employer, a clarification that your job remains the same/similar to which the labor was filed, your A#, 485 recpt, etc should be sent to USCIS so that they do not deny the I485 in case the ex-employer revokes the I140.

Search and read the AC21 memo here or from google. That will explain.
