Kalpesh Mehta Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Hi My I-140 is approved with company "A". Now I am changing the job to company "B," but my work location is the same. When the new company "B" file my green card, do they have again to file my perm with the Department of Labor, or can they directly file my I-140, as my work location is not going to change?

JoeF Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 The PERM is specific to the company, so they have to file a new PERM. Quote Link to comment
Attorney_15 Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 The law provides that the I-140 petition as basis for the last stage of the Green Card is employer restricted. So if company A files a PERM and then I-140 that are approved but the beneficiary then moves to company B, the beneficiary may (as allowed by the law) transfer the priority date to any subsequent I-140 petition. However, the new employer - company B - must first file a PERM and when it then files the I-140 petition the priority date can be requested. Quote Link to comment
