Do you have H1b visa? How did you submit labor substitution?

OK, If you have H1b and applied for i140 via labor substitution, you need to stick to that employer until i140 is approved.

Further you need to work for that employer for 180 days from the receipt date of your i485. You can leave that employer and join another employer provided your i140 is approved before this 180 day period, else you need to wait until your i140 is approved even after 180 days.

Once i140 is approved and you completed 180 days after i485 receipt date with that employer you can leave and join another. Make sure you keep all the paystubs to prove you worked there for 180 days.

Till then make peace with your current employer and stay there for 180 days and i140.



Note: I am not a lawyer, it is just my understanding of the GC process.

If you are too desperate then consult a competent lawyer (not the cheapest one). It may cost $200 per hour, but you will understand your options, don't hide any thing from lawyer.

First of all make peace with your employer ....

If you paid for the filing fees with a check you can check with your bank, the USCIS case number will be printed on the back of the check, with that case number you can get on USICS online and track your case.
Many Banks now days allow you to see the checks online through their websites. That was the way I got mine numbers.
My case took 6 months from H1B to GC AOS.

Good Luck, and try to make peaces with your current employer, sometimes is better to lower you head for a while until you are secure. Not all employers sponsor, so consider yourself a lucky person.

I came just like you in a visitor visa B2 ,but it's expired long time ago.
After getting my labor certificate in march 2007 with an employer who needs my work experience as an Auto electrecian,i filed for I-765 ,I-140,I485 in 27 july 2007 (I-140 and I485 are concurently filling).
I got all the receipts in 19 september 2007.
finguer print was done in 18 october 2007.
My I-140 and I-485 are still pending .
The question now is :Is it ok for some one who came here on a visitor visa(already expire) to apply for I-485.My lowyer siad it's ok .An other lowyer , before i got receipts and before finguer print was done ,said it's not ok.
Now when i got all receipts and when finguer print was done,i got some hope,but not certainly.
