The immigration law firm for my company filed for my I-140 in September 2003. At that time since my salary was lower than the one quoted on my Labor application, the firm did not give me an option to file for I-140 and I-485 concurrently. They also did not give me the option to choose between counselor processing and adjustment of status. My I-140 was filed with the option of AOS.
My I-140 is not yet approved, however, my HR has given a green signal for processing my I-485 based on anticipated salary increase in July, 2004. I would like to go for CP in the Delhi, India Consulate. However, wanted to get some clarifications:
1) Do I have to to file for I-824 and/or AC-140 in order to go for CP even through my I-140 has not been approved yet? If not, what would be the process for changing my option from AOS to CP?
2) At what stage in the process does the salary have to be higher than the one stated in LC or the current prevailing salary?
3) Where can I get the detailed information for the situations under which an I-824 or AC-140 needs to be filed?
I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could shed some light on this extremely convoluted process.
Thanks
