Perm not filled with current employer. My priority date became current

[GgSat]

Hi we have filed our Green Card in EB3 category with previous employer in 2010 Aug and my pirority date is current AUG 2010. But my current employer Not yet filed/initiated my perm.  Can someone help me on this.

Can i directly apply for i140 and I485 concurrently without perm with current employer?

Or is it possible to file I485 outside without any employer? Or i have to file I485 directly with previous employer without working with them? 

Please share your thoughts on this

If the GC sponsor wants you to work for them, that would be the ideal situation for you. Do they want you?

I am in same boat and seeking guidance. I read and posted "I-485 AND JOB PORTABILITY UNDER INA SECTION 204(J)". You may check my question related to your. Hope some expert can guide us.

Your current employer would have to have an approved PERM before he can file an I-140.

If you file an I-485 for the old employer you will have to start working for them when the I-485 is approved. It would be fraud otherwise.

I-485 portability requires that the I-485 has been pending for 180 days.
