Changing from EB2 to EB3 Risks?

[Prashant Pawar]

Hi,

I am currently working for a employer in US on H1B visa .  My current employer filed my PERM in EB2 and I have approved 140 with priority date of Nov 2014. I have a job offer from new employer which offers a good compensation , benefits and a stable long term employment with only exception that the new employer is willing to process my Green card only in EB3. So I wanted to know answers to below questions:

1> Is switching from EB2 to EB3 allowed by USCIS ?

2> If yes, are there any risks / complications in PERM and I140 application process when switching from EB2 to EB3

Appreciate advice / suggestions on this topic.

 

Thanks,

Prashant

It is certainly possible. You do know the long wait times .
