    Amended I-140 concurrent with I-485

    i sincerely doubt if I-140 PP processing will ever come back now given the loads of filings that USCIS will witness in the next month. my lawyer mentioned that "usually"amended I-140 filings do not take longer than 2 weeks to get approved. just out of curiosity why are you filing an amended...

    Prewailing Wage : EB2 vs EB3

    what makes you say that DOL will deny the PERM if you're using the same company experience? Section J21 in the PERM application form asks if you're using any of the qualifying experience gained with the employer of the position substantially comparable to the job opportunity requested? Now...

    Prewailing Wage : EB2 vs EB3

    Jacklantern and United Nations - your comments may be incorrect 1. Convincing the DOL that your new position is different enough so that they will recognize your 5 years experience with the same employer who sponsoring the green card. Normally experience with the sponsoring employer is ignored...

    EB3 to EB2 Is it worth to file??

    no i haven't gotten a I-140 approval but i feel confident...though you never know. PD portability, minus revocation of the old I-140, should not be a problem. its the law. i think some folks on this forum have posted their experiences about their PD transfer.

    EB3 to EB2 Is it worth to file??

    10.2 Is it possible to continue to use experience gained with the same employer as a requirement? Yes. PERM delineates a standard that is similar to that which was used in the past, though it is arguably narrower. The rule adopts a variation of the exception articulated in Delitizer Corp. of...

    EB3 to EB2 Is it worth to file??

    you're incorrect. you can use experience from your current company as long as the new position for which a new PERM is being filed is at least 50% different from the other positions that you've held within the company. AND you can justify that this new position requires BS +5 years. i...

    Finally...

    i believe there will be a lot of folks trying to jump in and take advantage of the labor sub. but remember if your I-140 is pending when the rule is published then no substitution allowed. so watch out for people applying via labor sub. till end of march and utilizing the I-140 premium process...
