Job role change with an I140 approved -Rule in effect from Jan 17. 2017

[Baa]

I have a I 140 approved since Sep 2010 under EB2 category and I am moving to new role within my current company . the new role has different set of responsibilities than my current role but my qualifications matches to perform those duties.

Would my employer have to file for new I140.. .?  I also see this new rule to be in action from Jan 2017

Would the implementation of this new rule allow me to move to the new role without requiring a new filing for I140 ?

Hi,

Yes. If your job role fits in the same category as that in your previous employment, then you don't need to start with new PERM process.

When your PD dates become current, you need fill form J along with 765.
