| AC21 contains two important provisions that allow |
| 1. Change of jobs before I-485 (Green Card) is approved; and
2. Extension of H-1B beyond the 6-year limit (discussed separately).
AC21 has offered much needed relief to many immigrants in the past, but is even more critical now. Hundreds of thousands of people were able to file I-485 applications under the July Visa Bulletin of 2007, but are facing severe visa retrogression for the coming years. AC21 makes it possible to start a new career when needed or desired, before green card is approved. |

| AC21 Portability Requirements |
| The American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (AC21) permits an individual to seek new employment when the following conditions are met:
• New employment must be the "same or similar" occupational classification;
• Form I-140 has been approved, or is approvable when filed concurrently with I-485;
• Form I-485 has been pending for at least 180 days.
Note that AC21 does NOT specify:
• The new job must be in the same geographic location; or
• The new job must pay the same or a higher salary; or
• A new labor certification must be filed. |
