rasheed1011 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hi, Here is my case. I was with company A for 3.6 yrs and they filed for my labor and got my I-140 approved with priority date in Nov 2007. Due to unavoidable circumstances I had to change my employer to Company B and I am still with Company B. during this course of time company A is acquired by Company C. Now the issue is... I have to make a decision , which way to go... 1. If I want to file my GC with Company B then it may take at least 6-8 months for labor to get approve and to port I-140 priority date and there are very good chances that priority date may not move till Nov 2007 for a long time. Which will further delay getting my GC. 2. Company C is ready to file for my I-485 as long as I am going to work for them once I have my GC approved. In this my question is, since the name of the company which filed for my labor and I-140 has changed from A to C due to acquisition.... Will they need to file amendment of I-140? If yes ... Then any idea how long will it take to get amended. Also can amendment of I-140 and filing of I-485 be done concurrently? Please advice which is better option that I can follow and why? Thanks Link to comment
Belle Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yes, the I-140 should be ammended. You should decide based on who you want to work for. Link to comment
rasheed1011 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I would love to go with company B but it will take at least 6-8 months for I140 approval and it will be issue if dates retrogress. With company C icanapply for ammendment and 485 concurrently. That way even if dates retrogress I can have EAD in hand. Do u thing applying for fresh labor and porting priority date for 140 will take longer or amendment of i140 will take longer in normal circumstances. Link to comment

Well, your petition with A wil still not be approved until the dates go current again. I think, you are selling out for a piece of plastic (actually, you are selling out for 6-8 months wait for a piece of plastic). If so, just be honest with yourself, and don't ask to have your career back - you sold it. Link to comment
