My lawyer said we have till end of this month to file I-140. My LC was certified in mid-September. I do not see the rule anywhere.

Thanks.


(I am applying for GC through work - EB3. I live in Texas.)
 
As far as I know, though they have plans to enforce this 45-day limit, it is not yet implemented.

Quote from http://www.nist.gov/admin/mo/adman/1020.htm

"i. OIAA processes Form I-140, Immigration Petition for Alien Worker, and original labor certification with USCIS to ascertain the non-citizen's eligibility to make application for permanent resident status. There is no time limit for submitting Form I-140 to the USCIS after labor certification is approved. The USCIS certification of Form I-140 can take up to several months. "
