Hi
William:
Due
to the recent
unavailability of immigrant visa
numbers for EB2 in my country, I am considering using the AC-21 to
change job.
Do you think it is possible?
Answer:
Many
applicants who filed applications for adjustment of status Form I-485
are
considering the employment portability and flexibility options under
the
American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (AC-21). The
resurgence of AC21 eligibility arises from the rapid forward movement
of the
U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin cutoff dates followed by
retrogression.
This
volatility occurred in the employment-based, second preference (EB2)
category
for individuals chargeable to India and China. Many of the I-485
applications
filed before remain in pending status due to the unavailability of
immigrant
visa numbers. AC21 portability of job change applies to I-485 cases
that have been in pending
status for 180 days or longer.
