You may be safe in changing jobs now. But do you really want to take a chance Immagration may  take offense of your doing so while in the middle of your application process? I personally think you should be able to change your job when ever you feel so inclined. However, why take a chance that somebody may take it as a sign of immaturity, insecurity in the work force or worse just plain instability?\n\nSo, even though you may be able to change jobs, I would reccomend you just stay put for now, finish your application process, then change jobs. It just seems much more safer than risking anybody attempting to use your change of job as a negitive sign of instability. If you are not in terrible work conditions, being abused emotionally, taken advantage of, or any other situation which creates a hostile work enviroment, just stay where you are. Unless the job you are considering is a much better paying, which would demonstrate an upward mobility and an increased ability to pay taxes, which the government would love!\n\nWhat ever you decide needs to be your own decision though. You can get advice, listen to what others have to say, but in the long run this is your life and what you decide will effect your life, the lives of you family and loved ones. So, evaluate your life situation, compare different scenario's and make the best decision you can. That is all you can expect of your self or anybody else, just to do the best with what information you currently have.\n\nGood luck in choosing the best path you can, and much happiness always.

I recently moved from CA to TX...  I collected unemployment from CA because I had to quit my job and move because my husband was transfered to Texas with his job.  \n\nMy sister moved with us, and she got unemployment from CA as well because she graduated college and moved back in with us (her primary residence before college) and she quit her job she had while in college.    So yes... it is possible as long as you had a good reason for quitting.\n\nThe sooner you call and apply... or go online the better because there is a waiting period of one week before benefits start.

Yes, sorry to say that they can.  It does not matter how long you have been with a company, if they change their requirements where you have to pass a test in order to stay employed then that is what you have to do.

YES\n\nOnce you cross the threshold for a level change, either up or down, you switch to that level

Put you are still currently employed. You should give two weeks notice so they don't give you a bad reference

If she is able to get on Immigrant Visa (probably K3), she will be able to work in the US as soon as she is able to pass the State Board test. I do not believe that there is any restriction on employment in a CR3 Resident. If she comes in under the Visa Waiver program (Green I-94), she CANNOT perform any kind of work while in the US until her status is adjusted to that of an immigrant.

That is totally up to you.  If you were treated well at your old job and your new job isn't going to be angry if you can't start for 3 weeks instead of 2 it may be a good idea to stay the whole 3.  You never know when you may need a reference from that old job!

Depending on the terms of your J-1, you may be able to apply to change status to H1B while in the U.S. You first need to determine if you are subject to the two-year home residency requirement (common for most J visas). If you are, your visa will read "Subject to 212e" on its face. If you are subject to 212e, you cannot change your status and must return home. If not, then you can apply for an H1B as long as you fit the eligibility criteria.

Did they say "When are you avaliable to work?" late in the interview, because thats a good sign. The first question you listed is pretty good, I don't know about the second. Either way, Good Luck Bro! Hope it works out.

Probably not a lot that you can do aside from looking for another job.  You could try and plead your case with your supervisor or the HR department but that's about it.\n\nUnless you have a written contract of employment that states that you will be a regular full-time employee by a certain date, your employment is considered "at will" and the terms can be altered at any time the employer (or you) choose to do so.

I'm going on the indication you mean a change of birthdate and social security number.You can change your social security number in instances where you may have suffered abuse or domestic violence of feel threatened and a need to do so for that reason.You can do this by contacting your nearest social security office or online at socialsecurity.gov - if you can change that for the reasons I listed I believe you could also change your birthdate but may need to provide evidence or a reason for doing so. The following is explanation of help offered by social security.------People in all walks of life can be victims of family violence or harassment, abuse or life-endangering situations. If you are a victim of family violence, Social Security may be able to help you. \n\nPublic awareness campaigns stress how important it is for victims to develop safety plans that include gathering personal papers and choosing a safe place to go. Sometimes the best way to evade an abuser and reduce the risk of further violence may be to relocate and establish a new identity. Following these changes, it also may be helpful to get a new Social Security number. \n\nAlthough Social Security does not routinely assign new numbers, we will do so when evidence shows you are being harassed or abused or your life is endangered. \n\nApplying for a new number is a big decision. It may impact your ability to interact with federal and state agencies, employers and others. This is because your financial, medical, employment and other records will be under your former Social Security number and name (if you change your name). If you expect to change your name, we recommend you do so before applying for a new number.------- End of social security statement the rest if my own advice .You may contact your county clerk of courts or health department and get help with the date of birth change depending on which handles this in your area,

No, the move has to be incident to changing jobs.  It does not matter what kind of job you are changing from or why.  The job change can be for either or both of you.  Go to the IRS website and search forms and publications for Moving Expenses.

Good! You must have taken good decision to move to a job. I would like to know whether you have done some analysis for the same or not.\nYou should have clear answers as under:\n•Why you want to change?\n•What are your goals in changing the job – financial – social – physical – mental etc.\n•What you want in you life?\n•Will you be able to get what you want from the new job you would be planning to?\n•How many years and resources you would require achieving your goals?\n\nIf you answer all these questions genuinely, you will have clarity on your decision. I will be happy to help you more on to this, if you wish: heneel_soni@yahoo.co.in

If you can find a better job fast, don't hesitate to change immediately.\n\nIf not, better play safe and work and wait until the end of the year to receive the severence pay.

You would be voluntarily unemployed and probably ineligible for benefits.  Just because you don't like the new software is not legal justification to decline work.  However, laws vary by state and you should check with the agency in your state that administers unemployment benefits for a more detailed analysis.

Yes, just as you would take yourself out of paper directory, you must indicate you wish to be ex-directory. It takes about a year to effect the change.\n\nSimilarly and less drastically, you can just ask that your full address be removed from the listing.
