Re: I140 Approved Never Applied I485
mahe04,
you cannot reuse the approved I-140 unless you join your previous employer again (you can apply for 485 directly). however, assuming you are with and will remain with your new employer, you have to wait until your labor gets cleared. After that, you can apply for I-140/I-485 with your new employer and use the approved I-140's priority date (from your previous employer) on your new application (current employer). It does not help in any way in the current situation since all dates are current. If the priority dates are rolled back by the USCIS for some reason -only then the earlier priority date will help you. thanks.

Friends,
I had an approved I140 from my previous employer. This was back in April 2000.
THey never filed for my I485 since I got laid off.
I checked with the company attorney and my I140 is still not revoked.
Can I file my I485 using the employment letter of the current employer.
I am stuck at the Labor Certification with current employer for the past 30 months.
Please reply.
Regards,
