company got acquired - NEED HELP!!!

[chinni27]

Hello,

I have approved PERM and I-140 application with Company A under EB2 category. Company B acquired company A (completely), and I am continuing work for company B. My PD would become current in next month visa bulletin.

Will it be OK to file I-485 with my existing PERM and I-140 of company A since Company A is acquired by Company B? Or Do I need to apply PERM and I-140 again with Company B?

Please advise me, my priority date would become current soon.

I really appreciate your help

Thanks

Kiran

Talk to the lawyer. An acquisition usually means the employer needs to file an ammendment to the I-140.

You need to file an I140 amendment asap.

You cannot use Company As I140.

-------------

I140 Amendment is unnecessary only if your answer is yes to all the questions below.

1. Your employment letter from Comp B with same no change in Job, duties, salary, location.

2. Pending I-485 for more than 180 days and you are eligible for AC21?

3. No material change in these companies and your employment (job, duties, salary, location)?

--------------

If you attempt to file with comp B letter, you may receive an RFE on I140. Talk to an immigration attorney.
