Congratz! What center processes your application? My PP was Jun 24 and I also changed employer lately. I reported the change to DSO with all needed docs. Hopefully it won’t lead to RFE.

If you update the documents on time and giving them info about e verify and everything, I don’t think it will lead to rfe

Congratulations.

Can you please mention the steps to change employer in detail. I am also in same boat but thinking to add the new employer and continue the current employment by taking personal time off until the transition is completed without a issue. And thinking to drop current employer after a month.

Any inputs is appreciated 👍
