EB3 to EB2 - some questions

[imqwer]

My Priority date is Dec 2002 in EB3 - world wide. My I-140 is cleared. But due to retrogression, I could not file I-485. I need to get EAD and AP asap. I cannot get it with my EB3. And the prospects also do not look good in the future.

EB2 world wide is going current. I want my company to file another green card case in EB2.

My question is, can I retain my priority date of EB3 in my EB2 case?

I have B.Sc. Engg - 4 year degree with 8+ years of experience - 5 years in US with the same company. They filed 4 years ago in Eb3. Do I qualify for EB2?

Also, can I use my EB3 labor certification for my new EB2 case or do I have to go for another labor certification?

It does seem that you have to file for your Labour under EB2 again.

I wud like to know if the experience in your current company can be accounted towards your min 5 year experience for filing EB2.
If anyone has answers let us know. Thanks !

cheers

Experience at your present company doesn't count.

Though I am not an attorney or anything, this is just my understanding!
