看到很多人拿到EAD就换工作，180天就真的不重要吗？# EB23 - 劳工卡

1 楼
我是PERM-based EB2：
PD: 2013/12/10
RD: 2015/8/13
FP: 2015/9/11
就一个人（主申请人，没有副申请人。呵呵）
估计大概要两年左右才能拿到绿卡。我原来的计划是等180天后换工作，因为AC21关于
180天的要求:"For an alien to change the offer of employment, his or her
adjustment of status application, Form I-485, must have been pending with
USCIS for 180 days or more. "，见下面的两个链接：

但是我看到很多人基本就是拿到EAD就换工作，甚至直接拿到offer等EAD去工作，直接
不担心关于180天的要求。USCIS在2005年12月27日的memo(Question 10)说不可以因为
不到180天而deny the case，但是Question 12又强调了一下180天：
http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws/Memoranda/S
Question 10. Should service centers or district offices deny portability
cases on the sole basis that the alien has left his or her employment with
the I-140 petitioner prior to the I-485 application pending for 180 days?
Answer: No. The basis for adjustment is not actual (current) employment but
prospective employment. Since there is no requirement that the alien have
ever been employed by the petitioner while the I-140 and/or I-485 was
pending, the fact that an alien left the I-140 petitioner before the I-485
has been pending 180 days will not necessarily render the alien ineligible
to port. However, in all cases an offer of employment must have been bona
fide. This means that, as of the time the I-140 was filed and at the time of
filing the I-485 if not filed concurrently, the I-140 petitioner must have
had the intent to employ the beneficiary, and the alien must have intended
to undertake the employment, upon adjustment. Adjudicators should not
presume absence of such intent and may
take the I-140 and supporting documents themselves as prima facie evidence
of such intent, but in appropriate cases additional evidence or
investigation may be appropriate.
Question 12. Can the 180 days that an I-485 application must be pending for
I-140 portability eligibility accrue during a period when visa numbers are
unavailable?
Answer: Yes. The fact that a visa number becomes unavailable after the
filing of the I-485 application does not stop the number of days required
for I-140 portability eligibility from accruing.
我现在倾向于一拿到EAD就换工作，但是还是有一些担心。因为我是学数学的，在银行
做risk management，换的工作倾向于front office，不一定能满足same or similar
job的要求，再加上180天的限制。有些犹豫。请问大家怎么看？先说声谢谢了！！
