Anyone here left their firm after filing i-485 and got a green card? Did it make it more difficult / take longer? Would you suggest just waiting it out until you get your green card?

Oh this is a loaded question ! I’ll do my best to do some justice. You can leave however you’ll need to have a i485 j supplement provided during your interview showing that your new job is pretty much the same as the one for which the i485 is filed gets into some heavy rfe scenarios from what I’ve read on trackitt. I would honestly wait until I have the GC before moving out. You don’t want to rock that boat too much unless absolutely required, you’ve come far already in the process

What’s your eta to the interview ? Is your priority date current ? I left my firm about 9 months after I received my GC

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager? I just moved out of the US because the H1b lottery didn’t work out for me, and I’m thinking rather than spending 1 or 2 years in my home country and go back as a senior, I’d much rather work here a bit longer, get that manager title, wait a year, and then go back as I think that would be the fastest route to green card..? Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!
