Dear Friends,
I have I-140 approved under the EB1-B category (Priority date Sept 2019). However, I can not apply for applying I-485 due to retrogression for India.
NOW, I have a job offer from another University and I am planning to start my new position in January 2020. As my I-140 is under the EB-1B category and it is employer-specific; I cannot transfer OR keep my I-140 approval BUT I guess, I can keep my priority date? Right?
If YES: Do I need to apply for new EB1-B or EB1-A before joining to a new Employer? OR Can I apply anytime after joining the new position and still keeping the priority date?
Also, Can I transfer my H1-B visa and applying new EB-1B category at the same time?
Please advise. It is a very important juncture of my career and I look forward on your advise and suggestions.
Thank you for your time.
