When can I quit my job?

[jacinto72 1]

Hi,

I am on a H1b Visa. I applied for green card through marriage to a US citizen.

I received the I 797C notice of action with my priority date for all the forms i sent.

Can i quit my job now since my case is in process?

Thanks in advance.

Once your I-130 and I-485 have been received it puts your immigration status on hold until you receive a decision.

Yes, once a nonfrivolous adjustment of status application has been filed you can quit your job without losing your immigration status.

There is one caveat: If you keep your job, you can travel abroad while the application is being processed and reenter on your H-1B without affecting the adjustment of status. If you quit your job, you have to wait until you get your advance parole card before traveling abroad (otherwise the adjustment of status application is automatically abandoned). If you don't plan to travel for the next 3 months, this isn't an issue.
