                    [Title] => When can a person change employers without having to start over?
                    [Summary] => Q: Many people have been sponsored for green cards by employers through a process called Labor Certification.  Their cases may have been filed years ago, and during the time they were being processed, the aliens may have changed jobs or the employers may have gone out of business.  Does a person have to start over again from the beginning, or can a new employer take over the first employer’s existing labor certification case?
