Multiple GC applications

[Ramya_K]

Dear Gurus/belle,

 

Could you guys please ans for my question.

 

From Company A:

 

1) I applied labor, I-140, & I-485 concurrently in EB3 category at 2007

2)  Got 140 approval & EAD in 2007

3) 485 is pening

 

 

From Company B:

 

1)   I applied Labor, & I-140 in EB2 category in 2012.

2) Got 140 approvals in 2012 December.

 

From Company C:

 

 I joined company C in 2012 and Applied labor & it is in process.

 

 

Here are, My questions,

 

My Dates are current as per August 2013

 

 Is USCIS grants my GC based on company B’s I-140 Approval?

 

Or

 

Do I need to join company B to get my GC?

 

Thank you,

Ramya

If you have done interfiling with your new I-140 (from Company B), in that case if your GC is approved based on I-140 from Company B, you need to join Company B after you get the GC.

 

 

If you were working on EAD with Company C after filing AC21, then you do not need to worry about any thing you can continue working for Company C after getting your GC.

 

 

Basically, if you have not used AC21 then you need to work for the company on whose I-140 your GC is approved on.

 

If you have used AC21 then you can work for the company who you went on AC21.

Which company do you want to work for?

 Is USCIS grants my GC based on company B’s I-140 Approval

you filed 485 from A right?  though you retained EB3 PD with B..

 

check your 140 petition with B..did the attorney use A# on it..then your case may have been interfiled for A&B..

 

did B keep the 140 active?

Thank you  shandan, pontevecchio, cap-gap.

 

 

Company B is not giving any information, Simply they told that my I-140 Approved in EB2 & PD is 8/1/2007.

 

They used my  A# while applying my I-140.

 

But

 

 

Is it possible to get GC even I didn’t work with company B?

[pontevecchio]

You can use AC21 before you get the GC to work in a suitable similar job. In your place I would IMMEDIATELY get in touch with a Law Firm to discuss your situation  or be prepared to join B when the card arrives.

Why do you think you need so many cases? Are your jobs different? Because of the complexity, it is recommended that you have a lawyer to look at all of your cases together. It seems that lawyers only look at their respective parts of your situation. You need to understand whether you are eligible to port under AC21 to your current job, assuming you want to stay there.

HI Belle

 

Thank you,

 

 1) In 2007,  As per my job & job's requirment , I was eligible for EB3 only. So Company A did it in EB3.

 

 2) In 2012, I got new JOB offers from Company B  & Company C.  

Both company lawyers told that AC21 is not possible for my case due to Job responsibilities . & both started fresh labor & used my A# to get my EB3 PD( 2007).

 

3) finaly , I took company C offer & their labor is still pending.

 

4)But,  meantime,my labor & I-140 approved from Company B . they sent email about it .

 

Now, My question , Is it possible to get GC even I didn’t work with company B?

 

Thank you,

[pontevecchio]

It is possible to now join B and also get the GC. Even if you never worked for B.

Thank you  All

Yes, you don't need to work for B to get the green card from them.
