I think you need to file i-130, not i-140. I assume you're adjusting status based on your marriage to a US citizen.

correct I meant I-130 

Thanks guys for your fast answers! You are awesome.

I don't have the 2 year residency restriction so I guess I am good

I will file the change of status then.

New question: I need to travel to Europe in 5 months (on June 22th) for the last exam of my master. Do you think I will have my EAD by then considering I will be filing next week for AOS( concurrent I-140 and I-485)? Will I be able to travel?

Do you suggest that I add an advance parole: I-131, Application for Travel Document in my application or not?

Hi,

I work for a company in tech and I am on a J-1 visa until July 1st 2017. I got married on December 2016 and I decided to change status to greencard. I have all the documents and I am about to file the I-140 and I-485 (concurrent filing). The problem comes from my company. They seem to want to terminate my visa now because they don't want me to immigrate as they say the J-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa.

1- Can they terminate my J-1 visa because I am trying to change status? Can I negociate? or can I do anything about it? Can I tell them I am not going to file for change of status so they do not terminate me? 

2- If they do terminate it, what are my options to apply for my green card? Should I come back as a visitor or just wait until I heard from USCIS?

3- My file for a change of status is ready. Should I file it now as I currently have a valid J-1 visa or should I wait to hear from the lawyers from my company?What happens if I file now and then they terminate my visa in 3 weeks? Should I contact USCIS telling them the change of situation?

Thanks for helping me out, this is extremely stressful.
