rajmehta Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi, Have US Masters degree. While filling application for i-140 by mistake Petition Type related to EB3 was selected, and i-140 got approved in EB3. So far (4 years) I was under impression that I am in EB2 category. Somehow recently I came to know that I am in EB3 and NOT EB2. Question: Can I Re-File I-140 in EB2 using SAME labor? (according to lawyer labor was filed complying EB2 rules) Has anyone done this ? Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions. Raj Link to comment

Jignesh1972 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Why do'nt you just file new perm and I140 and port the PD from old I140. what your attorney is saying what is the best possible option ! Link to comment
rajmehta Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 @veni001 Perm LC says BS+5 OR MS+2 Years of Experiance. @Jignesh1972 Why to go from very first step while can be done from second. Lawyer is suggesting to amend I-140 in EB2 category. Since it is same employer and labor certification was approved in EB2 can skip this. Thanks Raj Link to comment
Attorney_15 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Generally, if the requirements on the LC satisfy the definition of EB2 and the beneficiary's credentials satisfy the EB2 definition, it is possible to re-file an I-140 requesting EB2 classification without doing a new LC. However, whether to do this in any specific case is a decision that one should make after consulting with an experienced attorney who can advise a person based on his or her own circumstances.
