Please help me as I am in big confusion.
I am J1 physician working in Underserved area. Completed 3 years of waiver requirement 9/2006.
I worked with company A from 5/2004 to 3/2007. Got EB-2 PERM based I-140 apporved with PD: 9/2004 with company A
Also applied for NIW based I-140 (self petiton) approved with PD of 9/2004. I-485 pending on this I-140 with RD of 11/2004. I need to complete 5 yrs in underserved area to get GC using this method.
Changed job in 3/2007 to company B hoping to apply for PERM and GC again. But with this new CIR looming with changes in EB catagory I am moving back to company A.
Now my prior employer company A is offering me job again. They have kept my apporved I-140 intact. It is going to take 4-6 weeks to join them back and be on their payroll.
What should I do?
Can I file new I-485 based on approved I-140 with company A even though I am not working with them now (as future employment)? This will be my 2nd I-485 as the first one is pending for NIW application.
Should I try to interfile first I-485 with PERM based I-140? One lawyer told me that if I interfile I-485 with PERM baed I-140 then there is a risk of denial of the I-485 as it was filed duing my three years of waiver service. Second lawyer told me that interfiling can be done with out problem (especially if I 485 is at TSC) but only after joining company A.
As you can see how complicated the case is and how different lawyers give differnt opinions.... I am very confused. Please advise gurus.
