I am an EB filer with an approved 140. My 485 already passed the 180 pending days mark. My biometrics are done and I was just moved to awaiting to schedule interview relatively recently. From what I understand, the wait times are 3 to 9 months just to get scheduled.
I work for an IT consultancy and my PWC and PERM and whatnot was made for a given state. I've been working remote for over a year in my same state (like most people) due to COVID.
Due to family reasons, I need to move to a different state across the country temporarily (at least a year) and work remotely from there. In an extreme scenario, I might need to stay there for the next 2 or 3 years, way after my green card is issued.
How likely is my temporarily moving to a different state affect the approval of my AoS?
Company lawyer seems to think it would not be an issue and I'd just need to explain why I moved even assuming there is an interview, but I cant shake the feeling I'd be at the mercy of whatever officer interviews me and for them to believe me that there's no fraud and that I did originally plan to work on the original state where my process started.
Worth mentioning, my company has an office in the state i would be moving to, in case that makes a difference.
Any thoughts are appreciated, thank you.
