I-140 Approved, EAD renewal requirements

[grcjso]

Here is my story -
- I came here in 1998 on F1
- Transferred to H1-B in 2002
- Filed for Labor Cert in 2005 (EB3) in Nevada
- I-140 approved in 2008
- I-485 pending for more then 180 days as of 2008
- EAD valid through 7/10/2009
- Got laid of in Feb 2009
- I got a job as an associate, a consultancy firm on W2 basis on Nov 17th, 2009 in WA

I have not done anything (i.e.informing the USCIS about job change etc.). I have the following questions.

- what documentation is required to be submitted to the USCIS about the new job.
- What kind of documentation is required from the employer vs myself
- When/how soon has this documentation is to be submitted
- When do i need to apply for my renewal of my EAD card
- What documentation is required to be submitted for the EAD renewal from employer vs myself
- Is it advisable to employ the services of an attorney if we run into issues.
- I worked on similar job for very short stints in between, but it was for a few weeks, does it endanger my case in anyway.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

- what documentation is required to be submitted to the USCIS about the new job.
Employment letter along with AC21 letter.
- What kind of documentation is required from the employer vs myself
All you need from employer is employment letter.
- When/how soon has this documentation is to be submitted
I am not aware of any deadlines.
- When do i need to apply for my renewal of my EAD card
- What documentation is required to be submitted for the EAD renewal from employer vs myself
Check 765 application form instructions on uscis.gov for both above.
- Is it advisable to employ the services of an attorney if we run into issues.
Sure, based on your questions above - an attorney may be useful to you. They can tell you what docs you need, where to get those from and to apply for renewals.
- I worked on similar job for very short stints in between, but it was for a few weeks, does it endanger my case in anyway.
Based on what you have told so far, doesn't seem like those endanger anything.
