I-140 Approved, 3 years ext after 6th year - my Company X Acquired by another Company Y

[priya_k82]

Hi,

I have a Labor, I-140 approved, got 3 years extension(I am in my 7th year) on EB3 with Priority Date of 2010 for Company X. I haven't applied for I-485 as my priority date is not current.

Very soon, my company X is going to be acquired by another company Y.

1) If I want to continue with Company Y, what kind of applications we need to file? . Is there any risk?

2) If I want to change the comapny(to Z), what are the steps I need to undergo.

Can you please suggest which is the best option for me in the present situation. Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards

Priya

please consult a lawyer.

new company Y will be successor in interest in your petition.

changing to new employer company Z is no different than a change of employer regardless if company X is being acquired by company Y. meaning you have to start GC from scratch but you may port/retain your PD.

it is best to discuss your case with an immigration lawyer like murthy.
