Hello Peter,
USCIS released a memo 204(j) Job Portability (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws/Memoranda/2016/Final_Same_or_Similar_Policy_Final_Memorandum_3-18-16.pdf https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws/Memoran...). Does it make sense for a founder of an early stage startup to go through with it or wait for the approval? USCIS has been taking unusually long time to process I-485.
Thank you!
- proberts 9y agoIf I understand you correctly, we've had no issue with I-485s being approved for those who change jobs (but remain in the same field) and in fact the interview requirement seems top be speeding up the approval of I-485s.
- tarunkotia 9y agoThanks for your answer. I've been waiting for approval with 330 days already elapsed. I've not got any RFE yet. I agree that interview process has been speeding up approvals, I see a lot approvals post-March on various forums but my case is pre-March 6, 2017. I am in doubt if I should wait to get approved or to move on to my own startup given USCIS has really slowed and there seems to be no end in sight. [edits: typos]
