I have my AOS pending for more than an year now and am looking to change employers. I have the I140 filed under EB1-b with priority date Jan18 (I am in Indian citizen). Has anyone gone through this? Is it easy to transfer the pending AOS to the new employer?
Same boat - did you already have gc interview?
Yes
Your I140 is approved right ?
Yes
Same boat . Also what about my spouse ? Her gc will be through me, but can she change jobs ?
No restrictions on spouses as long as your are the primary
Same boat. Changed job within company to a different division. Lawyers mentioned as long as its the same research area, you should be fine.
If you had the interview already, then transferring should be straight forward. I am not sure if you are even required to file suppliment J or not..

As long as the new job is same family you can do portability. Nothing to worry. (I am not a lawyer, I just speak on my experience, I did exactly what you said) Also ask a lawyer.
Talking to one of the companies I was interviewing at, they mentioned I might need to show more than 50% time being spent on research as I applied for my 140 showing my PhD/publications. Do you know if that's true? Ya I'll check with a lawyer
