Approved i140 from 2014, no I485 filed.. Job Change?

[confused_hustler007]

Folks-

 

Couldnt find anything in regards to situation where i140 is approved and approved since 2014 (over 2 years now) PD being feb 2013.. My employer did not file i485 since date isint current.

 

I have the approval notice(thanks to foia) - My employer wont share any details on date with me as he is trying to hold me by saying I will cancel your 140 once u leave etc.. 

 

My question:

 

My i140 is approved since 2014 (over 2 years) - passing 180 days

I485 is not filed.

I am planning to make a transfer and go a big consulting firm (pwc) and hoping they can get 3 year extension..

When they start my GC process and everything is clear.. can we use old approval date here? Everywhere I am getting details like only if you have both i140 and i485 filed this is possible.. no where i saw that if you only have approved 140 you can do it!

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks for your time.

You are usually allowed PD retention. Please read relevant articles in the MURTHY website about recent issues with PD retention faced by a few people.

Thank you for your advice.. I tried my best to find a case like me where i140 was approved but no i1485 filed and i140 approved from over 2+ years.. so what can be done under that case.. I could find anything..

 

If you can share a link of any such article.. that would be of great help..

 

thank you-

PD retention has always been possible and recently there have been a few exceptions. I suggest scheduling an Interview with a Lawyer to ascertain your position vis a vis PD retention.
