Hello Gurus,

My 2 questions are:

1) Can we file both Consular Processing and I-485 at the same time?

If NOT, how about filing first I-485 and after 182 days file for Consular Processing. Are there any problems with that?

Also, If I leave employer after 182 days of filing for I-485 then do I have to work after 182 days. If I have to work- then other than
getting into a job with similar job description, do I have to make same salary as mentioned on Labour Certificate of Green Card.



2) Also, I am planning to use Approved Labour Certificate for Green Card I-140 stage.

Approved Labour Certificate is in EB3 category. But I have 7 1/2 years of experience. So, when I substitute that LC for filing my I-140, can I change from EB3 category to EB2 category.?

Your detailed reply will be highly appreciated

Neelakshi.
