Need advice - i was caught up in round of layoffs. Last day will be in June. I am looking for roles and m in final rounds for a role. HR called today saying they are interested in my skills but cant do H1 transfer. I have 485 based EAD and can start new job on it.However I am worried about the following:
1) the role is very different from my current role
2) new employer is ok to file 485j in same SOC code but only in case of RFE
3) my spouse is on H4 EAD and her company is filing for first time

3) my spouse is on H4 EAD and her company is filing for first time H1 - how will H1 process be impacted if I move to EAD?
4) can i move to H1 B in future? If yes, then will $100k be applicable to my case?
5) given current scenario - is it advisable to move to 485 EAD? The risk i see if denial of 485 and different job profile
6) should I bring up the fact that I will need employer to change the job description for 485j and the way it is written currently it wont work for me?

Will appreciate guidance from people in this group who have been in similar situation. Thank you!!

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)
