Hi all,
I need an advice about changing from EB2 to EB1 OR category. I have approved labor and I140 (with priority date of Nov 2006) under EB2 category. I cannot file for 485 until my PR date becomes current (which 2 months bk was 2000, now it shows unavailable). My attorney told me tht I can change to EB1 OR category in which 140 and 485 are current but will not be able to switch job or move to some other location of same co. until 6 months of filing and approved 140 under EB1. He mentioned tht 140 under EB1 is taking abt 1 yr these days. I have few questions -
1. Will my currently approved I140 will hold good even if I apply for new 140 under EB1?
2. If EB2 becomes current while 140 in EB1 is still under processing, can I switch bk to my original EB2 application?
3. Is it advisable to switch to EB1 (added expense of ~6k), or wait till Oct until new 485 numbers become available in EB2?
Thanks for your time,
Amit
