So once you send off your i-485 and you get a notice saying they received it, is that it from a submission standpoint? Are you basically in the queue from then on? (I.e. you can stay in the country until the process is completed?)

Assuming you have an H1b as well, what prevents you from staying in the country? Once you get the ead and AP, it's then your choice to continue to be on H1b (employer permitting) or start to use your ead for easier employment and AP for travel. However, if you elect to do the latter then if your 485 is denied for whatever reason, you could be in trouble.

You can travel if you are maintaining H1 or L1 status. In that case it doesn’t affect your 485. However, if you travel while your AP is under process then the latter gets denied but it shouldn’t have any effect on 485 I believe. At least that’s how the lawyers explained to us.

I believe that is correct.

Did you file recently? How long did it take for you to get the receipt notice?

I'm planning on filing. I don't know how long it takes for the receipt notice. How long does it typically take?

I believe 2 - 3 weeks is a good ballpark. However, COVID is leading to longer times

4+ weeks for receipt notice is what I've heard from my firm's attorney.

Looking for some sales career advice - I am currently working for an organization that sells IT services. I’ve been here for a couple of years and spent my first year cold calling and my second year doing account management and sales. I feel like I have a low base of $50K, with an OTE of 110 however, I expect to meet closer to the 130 to 140 mark. I now have an offer for 65K OTE of 65K from a startup and it would be completely remote and is offering equity. Any advice is appreciated😊
