Can I change jobs while my I-140 petition and/or I-485 application based on an approved Labor Certification are pending with the USCIS?
A. You can change jobs (this is referred to as “portability”) if all three of the following statements are true: 1) Your I-140 petition is approved, 2) Your I-485 application has been pending for at least 180 days, and 3) Your new job is in the same or similar occupational classification as your previous job. If there is a significant discrepancy between your previous and new salaries the USCIS may question whether the jobs are “same or similar.
