EB2 to EB1C porting

[vivek1234]

Hello Sir,

Below is my case summery.

1. My i140 approved in June 2018 in EB2 category under company A.

2. I moved to India for some personal note in May 2019 and now I am working for the same company A as a manager post.

3. Am I eligible for EB1C as I already completed my 1 year in May 2020 .

4. Can I file I140(under EB1C) while living in India.

Thank

Hello Team,

Any update on this concern. 

Thanks in advance..

Only your company can file. So you need to touch base with your supervisor to see what the company can do.

Thanks for the info but my concern is can My company file i140 under EB2 to EB1C porting while I am in India..

The company can file your EB1C petition. The fact that you have an EB2 approved is irrelevant. Both are separate applications and EB2 wait is much more than EB1. Nothing to port. Two separate I-140 applications.

Thanks, Do I need to have a valid H1B/L1A petition approved(I797) before applying for EB1C i140 with USCIS while I am in India.

 

Thanks

No. 

I know all semantics, but the employer has to file should you qualify.
