EAD job Change

[sri1973]

Hello All,
Brief History: I am working for a Food Processing company (A) in R&D. Company A was my sponsor for GC. I have been on EAD since Oct 2007 (filed 485 during July-Aug 2007 time period) . My I-140 was approved Jan 2007. My GC application was started in Apr 2006 - Perm process. Also, i still have my H1B(Extension) valid until Apr 2010. Company A uses a consulting firm for roughly about 25 - 35% of R&D projects.

Reason to change: I believe this opportunity will have a significant change/growth to my career.

Questions: Can i change my job to the consulting firm using EAD? What are the consequences i should expect from USCIS? Does the Consulting company have to get involved with any Immigration fillings?
If i decide to work for the consulting firm, i will still be doing the same job for Company A but as a consultant + I will have additional projects with other Food Processing companies. I think labor application job description won't change (Company A to Consulting Firm) and this is where i struggle to understand the rules. Need your thoughts and Advice.
Appreciate your help and Thanks for your time.

This is a simple and straightforward case.
Rules are: You are allowed to change the company but you should be in "same or similar" position.
Your new company will have to agree to continue to support the existing green card process i.e. they may have to give employment verification letter if and when asked by USCIS..

All in all I think you are in the safe..
