Priority Date Recapture Please assist

[yellowrocks]

Here is my situation



My I-140 is approved and I 485 is pending with Priority date of April 2004 in EB3.

Now i have earned a Master's Degree, so i am eligible for EB2.

The job description was "Software Engineer"


If i file new labor and new I 140 under EB2 and capture older Priority date, will i have to show a different job description in this one?

Or older job description with qualificatiion requirements of Master's + 6 months of experience would be enough??



How to let USCIS know to Capture old Priority date on existing I 485 application and to process it under EB2?

i got married after my I 485 was filed.


So with existing 485 filed under EB3, can i file my Wife's I 485 because my priority date in EB2 is now current,
how to do that, i mean how to explain this to USCIS?


Please assist
Thanks

Earning a Masters degree does not automatically transforms the EB category to EB2. Did the previous LC required a masters or bachelor with 5 years of experience? Alternate way to get converted is to start another GC thread in EB2, maybe from the same employer, with a different position that requires a Masters. Once both I-140s are approved, you can recapture the earlier PD.

Also please post your question in this thread.

Masters does not guarantee EB2 and most importantly you have to see if masters was put down as requirement for the job.
