Questions regarding Labor Substitution
All/Experts,
I applied for Labor in June 2004 and another employee from the same company, same job description, same group had applied in June 2003. He was recently "let go". I was wondering if I could use the labor petition filed for him. In this case:
1) How is the PD affected if/when I go in for a substituted labor ?
2) Will the PD for the purposes of filing for I-485 filing be
a) My current PD, or
b) The date of filing of the LC which I wish to use, or
c) The date when the I-485 application is filed (this option seems strange as I did not understand how will someone be able to file I-485 without the date being current due to retrogression), or
d) The date when I-140 is filed with the substituted LC ?
3) What are the repercussions on the process if this labor has not been approved ?
4) What happens to my current PD and LC ? Would I still be able to use this in case something goes wrong with the substitution ?
What would the advantages be of using a substituion vs. the disadvantages at this stage ?
This is for EB2/RIR, MD.
Thanks in advance.
