on L1B visa,I-140 approved, Priority Date - May 2010

[USAdrim]

Hello,

I need your expert advice on my current situation

I am on L1B visa , completed ~= 3.5 years.

I-140 approved June 2011, Priority date May 2010

Will my company file I-485 /EAD now? or will they wait for date to become current?

Also whats the advantage of I-140 approval for me now? I mean if I get my L1 converted to H1B then i heard it will help me extend 3 years..is that true?

Please comment

please consult a lawyer.

you can only apply I-485 when PD is current.

with an approved I-140, you can extend H1 beyond the 6 year limit. L1 time count on 6 year limit of H1 time.

thanks or the reply

Sorry i ididn't get why you said "consult a lawyer" ? I mean if I-485 can not be filed w/out PD current then is there a way around to do this?in that case Can you tell me some good lawyer that you may know

Also, if anyone can answer my original question that was , "3 years of H1 extension possible with I-140 approval? or it does not have fixed rule?"

Thanks in advance
