Applying for I-140, Job Change

[krs_ravis]

Hello everybody,

 

Please guide me.

 

My status:

Right now, i am working for US company thru consultancy company as a contractor. 

PERM applied in last year and this year iam going to apply for I-140. Right now, i am in 3rd year of my H1.

My questions:

1. After I-140 approves, i want to join the US company as a direct employee. so, can i join immediately after approved I-140? so that i can use the same current priority date. ( I know that i need to start GC process from scratch with new employer also)

2. Is there any waiting period like ...6 months... do i need to stay after I-140 approves?

3. What is the normal processing time for I-140?  Is there any advantage of premium processing for my case? 

4. If i change the job after I-140 approved, what are the things i should take care? to make sure my PD will be same.

 

 

Thank you very much.

1. Yes. How is it that the GC sponsor filed knowing fully well that you were not going to join him?

2. No

3. No advantage with PP even if applicable for you.

4. Pay a Lawyer to look after your interests.

 

Please note you are not going to apply for the I-140. The company is.
