labor_paines said:I work for company A, i got I140 approval in EB3 category. It has 2001 priority date. I got I140 approval from company B in EB2 category. At the time of CompanyB 140 application i did not have Company As labor approval, so i did not mention the old priority date. Now, can i use my EB3 priority date to apply I485.
-----------------YES
According to murthy it is possible. Does anyone has more input? If someone else is in the same boat, please let me know.

labor_paines said:Thanks For clearing that off. Company B is doing my Green card on future employment basis.
Is there any rule i need to join that company once i apply for 485?
----------NO, GC is for future job.( if file gets transfred to local office for interview then better join B before interview date and take the recent pay stubs of B, so that officer dont dig much)
or
do i at all need to join that company?
-----company B filed LC for you ,comany B filed I-140 for you and you filed or will file I-485 based on I-140 if B and if I-485 is approved based on I-140 of B you need to work with B after I-485, many say work for 6 months many lawyers say 6 months to 1 year is safe. if you dont work it may be fraud to get GC when you dont intend to work with B after I-485 approval. if I-485 is pending more than 180 days then you can invoke AC21 and can work with new employer
