I-140 pending, PD is current should i go for concurrent filing

[yamaharx]

Hi Guys,

I have a pending I140 from current employer with USCIS received date of oct 21 2014. my lawyer said i could go ahead with concurrent filing since my PD is current (140 porting from ex employer). should i go for filing of 485 to make it concurrent filing or should I upgrade the I-140 to premium process then file 485. i am asking this for the following reasons

1. if i go ahead with filing of 485 and for some reason 140 gets denied, would that inundate the whole process and i lose the money paid to lawyer.

please share your thoughts

Why do you think your I-140 would be denied. Unless your employer is involved in some fraudulent practice you should be good.

 

I-485, usually takes at least 3-4 months to be processed, your I -140 should be processed before that. i see your I-140 is pending for long. You can contact USCIS and ask them to see what is holding it up for so long.
