Promotion with I-140 Approved

[ajaygarg1980]

I have an approved I-140 (485 has not been filed yet since priority date is not current yet) with an employer. There is a new opportunity in the same company (same employer) and in the same department (Job category is same). It is just that I will be supervising few people in the new position in addition to other responsibilities which are more or less same as in my current position for which I-140 was approved. Could you please describe how much job duties and requirements need to be similar so that I don't have to restart my PERM process all together. Is it true that if 50% job duties of the new position is same as the old position then PERM process does not have to be started all over again.

Your response will be truly appreciated.

Thanks.

Promotion and additional responsibilities  do not require a new PERM. You are OK.
