Agnestaj Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I got my PERM approved last week under EB2. I am an Indian Citizen born in India but my wife is an Indian citizen born in Nigeria. Planning to use cross-chargeability. The question is, should I apply I-140/I-485 concurrently to use cross-chargeability?. My consultant company layer is not confident about cross-chargeability. So I would like to hire some other attorney (Murthy) as I don’t want to take any chances. I am not sure my company will allow me to hire a diff attorney for I-140(my company pays the expenses), in that case I am thinking of getting the I-140 under premium processing with my company attorney and hire a diff attorney for the I-485( I have to pay the expenses) for cross-chargeability. is that Ok to have two diff attorneys for I-140 and I-485? Experts, what do you suggest? Link to comment
Belle Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yes, it is OK to have two different attorneys for I-140 and I-485. You may apply concurrently or after I-140 is approved, it really does not matter. Link to comment
Agnestaj Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks Belle.. We have decided to go with the second option.i.e apply I-140 under premium, later I-485. Do we have to add my wife information (Country of Birth etc) while apply for I-140, I could see one section in I-140 form for that but my attorney didnt collect any family member information from me for I-140 application. Did he miss that part ? Please respond.. Link to comment
Belle Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 You should not lie on I-140. Ultimately, it is your employer petition, and they can fill it out in any way they want. It does not change your eligibility, or your wife's eligibility, or her country of birth. Link to comment
