I-140 Approved, want to move. Chances of cont. GC with old employer

[skeebot]

Its one stop for Immigration Laws I think.

 

My situation.

 

• I-140 approved
• Got better opportunity
• New Employer might or might not file GC

 

 

 

Questions:

 

• What if I move H1 and new employer files GC. I understand process starts again but the PD remains same
• What if I move and new employer does not file GC? Can I ask Old Employer to continue my GC? 
• Can old employer continue my GC?
• Will they do it? is there any cost associated after 140 till waiting for PD for the employer?
• Can I do New GC with new employer at this time where there is talk about good movement in dates?
• Is it advisable to move now looking at the rate GC dates are progressing
• Do you predict dates will be current in few months?

Yes. But why would he.?

• Can old employer continue my GC?

YES. But Why would he?

• Will they do it? is there any cost associated after 140 till waiting for PD for the employer?

Ask them. They may not do it if you are going to leave anyway.

• Can I do New GC with new employer at this time where there is talk about good movement in dates?

Movement depends on the EB classification. Talk is cheap. Nobody knows for sure.

• Is it advisable to move now looking at the rate GC dates are progressing

The movement of GC priority dates should not influence you much.

• Do you predict dates will be current in few months?

Which country of Birth and which EB classification/.?
