seriously thinking
my PD mar2004(atlanta) , i have asked lawyer , no specific answer, my main worry is that if they take a while pulling the original or tracing the original application and in the meanwhile the people filing new applications will have piled up like crazy and we a a new backlog in 140/485 stage and possib;e EB2 retro

Thanks drhnp
Mine is one yr behind yours. So have you taken other steps, such as PW determination, etc? May I ask if it is going to be EB2 or 3? Does one have to withdraw LC first before filing PERM to be able to retain PD? Thanks.

Dear Meg z,
If you applied in 2004, and at this point still have more than 365 days before the 6 year limit on your H1 is over, I'd advice you to file a brand new PERM. The reason being, that to retain the PD, they have to track the old LC filed in BRC'S and compare it with the new LC to make sure that the petetions are "identical" No one knows how much time it would take to track the old LC.
Sincerely

I am exploring a new PERM now. Will have to talk to my employer about it. Thanks.

However they did not say anything about filing with the same employer is possibility or not.
