回复：请教8老师和pjiang老师以及版上daxia们

EB1B, 140已经批准，485 刚交上去，还没有EAD/AP, 被 lay off，separation date在两个月之后。公司已经说明不会withdraw 140和 485. 已经拜读过pjiang老师的博客（http://blog.wenxuecity.com/myblog/14332/200711 /37365.html）和版上的相关回复，还是有几个疑问。多谢！

1. 已经有其他工作的offer, 可以做h1b transfer了吗？还是尽量往后拖到separation date附近做transfer更安全些？到那时候如果有EAD了，用EAD工作更保险吗？

-It is hard to say the H1 transfer will result in RFE though some people think that way because the I-485 and H1 transfer are processed by different IO. However, because your EB1B PD is current, USCIS may check your employment status any time during the I-485 processing. If you get the RFE, you had better have a job or job offer no matter whether your I-485 pending is less than 180 days.

2. 做h1b transfer的话, 审查485的IO能看到吗？会不会因此而拒绝485的申请？我的理解是，485 pending，做h1b transfer到相同领域的公司，是安全的。不知道对不对。

 

公司是否在相同领域，是IO自己判断的吗？

-Yes. The IO follows some common principles. The following links are my responses to the simliar question as yours:
