Gurus,
I need some good advice on a terrible situation, I am in.
I am already in 6th year of my H1 visa and an employer filed for my PERM application in Oct 2005 before I entered my 6th year on H1B.
This application was filed in EB3 with a Bachelor's equivalency + 7 yrs of experience. We recieved an audit in Feb 2006 for this application and there has been no progress on that case.
In the meantime, I attained a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) from a reputed university.
Now I am thinking of filing a new PERM application since I have a 4 year US degree and there is no question of equivalency. The only worrying factor is that I have 5 months left on my H1.
What are various options I have?
How will this new filing affect my already filed case?
Do I have provision of retaining the earlier PD by making an ammendment to the previous case?
Gurus, I will really appreciate your comments and advice in this regard.
Thanks
