Guys,
My company merged with its sister concern and my lawyer did'nt file I-140 amenedment, instead she submitted 2-page affidavit from company's Human resources-VP explainig the company re-organisation after the merger and about the Successor-in-interest (new company) taking over all Imiigration and Labor related liability from the old company. Is anyone out here sailing in the same boat or everybody has filed 140-amendment ? Please advise.
After the merger, I also had to change my H-1B , which I did and my lawyer attached the same affidavit, INS approved it without any RFE's, so am thinking may be this will suffice in 485 situation also ? but would appreciate any inputs on this topic from fellow members on this forum.

Thanks !!!
 
I got approved

After my I140 approval and before applying I485 our company name got changed but same Fed ID or tax ID. We did not amend I140, but did not sumbit the necessary document(proof of company name change) while applying I485. Got an RFE for the same, submitted the necessary paper. Got approved. Hope this will help.

Good luck.

Thanks !!!
 
another one

Labor with Company name A - Approved.
I-140 with compnay name B (A merged with B) - Approved.
I-485 with company name C (C brought A and B) - ????

They did not file for new H1 for the above changes. Lawyer said no need to file. I-485 filed with successr-in-intrest letter.
Also lawyer said it is better to file ammended I-140, to be in safe. Filed ammended I-140.

No RFE so far..., Applied I-485 in last year April.
 
Thanks GCWORLD, mine 485 was also filed in April 2002.

In my case - Company A owns Company B(all business in data networking) and Company C(was doing IT Consulting). I worked for Company C, got my LC and 140 approved through Company C. But before filing my I-485, Company A(the Owner) decided to merge Comapny C with B. So now I'm employee of Company B. I now have Company B as my employer on my current H-1.

My lawyer does'nt see a need for amended I-140 because according to her their is no Ownership change, she thinks that the affidavit that we have attached should be sufficient, but she is also expecting RFE. I have once asked her about amended 140 before and she said their is no need for it, dont want to push it and ask one more time because that may irritate her, so am keeping my fingers crossed.

I hope INS does'nt ask for amended I-140 when they pick my file for processing. Sept18 response is giving me some hope too.
