EB2-NIW layoff while I485 pending for less than 180 days
I am an EB2-NIW applicant. My I140 was approved in Apr 2024 (petitioner: employer) and I filed my AOS in Jan 2026 i.e. it's been pending for less than 180 days. I'm curious what happens when I get laid off now? My employer's immigration firm told me while my I-140 will remain approved, I'll still need a new I-140, and that I can remain in the US without a job but there are "many specifics and details" that can affect this (didn't expand further). It's different from what I read, curious how true this is.
When I reached out to NIW attorneys (eg. Chen), everyone answered they only take new cases and mine is not their area of expertise.
after all this time and other things that’s happened I’ve decided that I’m gonna pull this application. for all the people that’s still waiting I wish for yall all the best.
