EAD and change of status
My wife had H-1B. Filed I-140 and I-485 in July 06. Got I-140 approval and EAD. My son and I also got EAD. Waiting for I-485 approval or Green Card. Got our Biometrix done in Aug. 06. Reciept date of I-485 is July 31st 2006. Now my wife wants to change the job. Can she change the job? If yes, then will there be any problem in change of status? what do we have to do to change the job? kindly guide us.

Re: EAD and change of status
Yes...after 6 months of filing of I-485...she can change her job due to portability provision. Does not she have an attorney doing all of these?
Re: EAD and change of status
She can change job without affecting her green card application process, if her new job meets the portability requirement.
