yes, you can change jobs with i-140 pending as long as the new position is same or similar. it is more risky though because if your 140 is denied then 485 will be denied as well. note that once your 140 is approved only then portability will be determined.

i have a smilar issue. i tried to sign up and it give me an error. "server timed out".

what the hell is the update? stop spamming this board if you don't have any information. MAJOR UPDATE FROM USCIS IN THE NEXT 49 HOURS: NOBODY GETS A GC THIS YEAR

how does it matter knowing USCIS...the dates will likely move backwards or stay still at best.

you can't file a 3 year extension without an approved I-140 petition. you will need to file a 1 year extension.

folks, i filesd my I-140, 485, EAD and AP petitions but the none of the receipt notices came to my home address. They all went to my lawyer. Do you know why? Is it because I signed G-28 consent form? Will the fingerprint and EAD and AP approval documents also go to my lawyer's address even...

just in case if you didn't know that the BEC just approved close to 40K labor certifications in the last 4-5 months with older PD's. there are at least 10 people in my company EB2/3 from Oct.2001 - Jan.2003 PD from India who got their labor certifications approved in the last 5 months. These...

i wish they had released the PD's (by 6 months starting at Jan.2002) each month this FY so that they could have had a better gauge on many applications will get used up.

your analysis is right on the money. had USCIS not opened the PD's for EB2 India at April 2004 back in October the retrogression wouldn't be so bad. There are so many freakening EB2 applications to approve even from the 2003 PD that I didn't see the logic of opening with a April 2004 date back...

i also believe that DOS made a mistake by opening the 2007 October visa bulettin with a April 2004 date. They probably didn't realize how many applications were pending approval prior to that date. last year prior to the july VB, EB2 India was at Jan.2003 and that should have been the right...

i agree with jack. part time or executive mba is the way to go. i did the same thing and had my employer pay for it. it was sweet as most top mba programs dont give scholarships. PS: dont waste your time going to a bschool ranked higher than 25, you're better off waiting for your gc and then...

guys.....i am in a similar boat and i am confused as well. my PD is EB2 Jan.2003 and i know (hope) that my PD will be current in Oct.2007 and later. my PD is current this month as well but i don;t know whether CP makes more sense than I-485. My I-140 has not been approved so if I apply for...

bluez25, i have been in the green card process since October 2001 and i still haven't recd my GC yet. I applied under CP and file reached b'bay consulate in Aug.2005 and i never got the interview till July 2nd, 2007 when my PD became current but i could never go to the interview becoz i...

I really don't need an EAD and my concern with I-485 is with so many applications being filed in the last 2 months.....it'll be ages before i get my green card even though my PD may stay current all the while. i feel CP may be quick but dont know? your thoughts??

I understand but with my PD of Jan 2003 EB2, I am sincerely hoping that my PD will remain current all throughout. but do you guys think premium processing is going to be reinstated for I-140 petitions? Thanks

My PERM EB2 just got approved and I will be transferring my old EB3 priority date to my new application (PD Jan. 2003 India). I am getting ready to file I-140 and wanted to get your opinion on whether CP or I-1485 is going to be a better option? CP is generally quicker but that hinges on...

this is not a security check but more of a background check....more common on applications that are filed with sub. labor. USCIS wants to establish whether the case is not fake, employer authenticity, ability to pay etc.

you mention that PD's in October will be set at pre-civil war times.....i understand there will be retrogression but if USCIS sets the dates far back enough then who are they going to approve? Are they going to waste visas again. What is your forecast on EB2 PD's for October? Thanks

seems like it took 10 months for your second I-140 to get approved with the old priority date. I am planning to do something similar. I am trying to port my old EB3 priority date to my EB2 application. I have a question for you - 1) Did you file an amended I-140 to port your old PD? In...

my lawyer has told me it takes an average of 2 weeks for an amended I-140 application to get approved. this comment from her was based on previous approvals. but let me ask you this....aren't you supposed to file a new I-140 petition if you have a new job? Or are you amending an already...
