Who said you can’t use your EAD in other state? You can use your EAD for any job and any state.

@Eb3 waiting i believe in order to work for s second job(skilled or unskilled) you need to keep working for your actual sponsor even if its part time after your actual contract..

@Eb3 other long story short return back to your job ONLY when your PD becomes current! otherwise its pointless and you will be keep working as cheap laborer!

@Eb3 other Key points USCIS only cares about the job being bona fide at the time of adjudication! How long you’ve worked there before your PD becomes current is irrelevant to USCIS. They don’t track loyalty or years of work! Companies will indeed take advantage of your situation, keeping you in a low-paying or undesirable role because of your pending EB-3 case.That’s a personal/employment issue, not a USCIS rule. You should not just survive waiting for your PD to become current! good luck!

@Ben Waltz can i work a skilled job meanwhile?

@Eb3 other No you don’t have to work for your sponsor till you get GC. you can work for any other job without working for you sponsor.

@Eb3 other You can do any type of job, but you need to understand one very important thing: when your case becomes current and USCIS is reviewing it, you must have a full-time job in the EB-3 unskilled category. They don’t care about your side jobs, whether skilled or unskilled! And always keep your SUPJ form handy. because remember your intention is from eb3 unskilled job and it must be your primary job! They will be asking you only if you intended to work in this unskilled job because your perm is unskilled!

@Eb3 other one thing for EB-3 other unskilled as long as the job fits the unskilled category code, you can work anywhere and everywhere. You don’t need to keep working in the same type of restaurants! Many people get confused and think they must work only in food-related positions, but that’s false. You can do any type of job, as long as it does not require special skills that’s what USCIS cares about. They don’t care whether it’s food service, warehouse work, or something else. Meanwhile, yes, you can also do skilled jobs as side work.

@Eb3 other The “one-year minimum contract or more” rule is BS that was just told by BDV. It is not a USCIS requirement! remember they are doing for favor for corps not you! Bdv is nothing without corps hiring you! they are middle man and they caring only about cashflow not your case!

@Eb3 other If your I-485 has been pending for over 180 days, you are safe to quit your job and start a new one immediately, regardless of your agreement. USCIS can withdraw your I-140, but they cannot touch your pending I-485. rules: 1. I-485 pending >180 days: Once your I-485 has been pending for 180 days or more, under the AC21 portability rule, you can change jobs to a position in the same or similar occupational classification without jeopardizing your I-485. 2. I-140 withdrawal: Even if your employer withdraws the I-140, your I-485 remains valid as long as it has been pending for 180+ days and you move to a qualifying position.

@Ben Waltz Great points raised here! Thank you! A lot of misinformation if being shared by BDV which makes us all panicked. Thank you once again for your detailed explanation

@Ben Waltz You’re welcome! I’m one of those “victims.” If didn’t do my own homework, and I could have ended up working for the same sponsor in a miserable life. ✌️

how can one find the a difference sponsor/employer willing to file the Supplement J form. @Ben Waltz
