Thread: Laid off with I-485 pending
Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by benblaney
I have an I-485 pending at the National Benefits Center (or whatever it's called), so I suppose I'm waiting for an interview. But I got laid off yesterday. I have an interview within the company on Monday for a new position, which I'm 50/50 on. Need some advice. If one of the lawyers on here would give me a (paid) telephone consult, please get in touch at <removed>

Ben, I suggest you contact the folks you are interested in, directly. The few I've been in touch with would not resond to your request as worded. Do you have an EAD/Employment Authorization Document? The application number is I-765 and you would have sent it in with your I-485. Did you also apply for Advance Parole, the travel document? You'll want to make sure you have the right ...

The latest is this: I have one definite job offer, and another interview next Monday in Chicago (for a job which I'd prefer). So I think we're going to be okay. Fingers crossed.

It might make things easier, but you shouldn't just do nothing, immigration-wise. The job has changed and that is important. Consult with your own attorney or with the company's immigration attorney. http://forums.immigration.com/blog.php?b=25
