EB3 485 pending, attempting new EB2 through new employer

[ck1977]

My EB3 filing has been pending since 2007 and has a priority date of Sep 2005. I have changed my employer in 2010 using EAD. My new employer has agreed to file for a new EB2 application and attorney said, they will be able to capture my old priority date while filing for I140. And they will also request USCIS to adjudicate the earlier I-485 based on the new EB-2 I 140.

Has anyone done this before. I do not maintain an H1 status nor has files for Ac21 and both myself and wife works using our EAD and travel using AP.

As per our the advise we got the times lines are below, Labor (max 6 months), I 140 (15 days if premium) and will receive GC in a year maximum for our scenario.

Appreciate any advice from any one who has done this or doing this now.

Regards,

CK
