Hello fello immigrants, need help with some Info, my details are ID Apr 96
I-140 approved under company X Sept 26 1997, Company Y acquired company X in early 1998, Six years under H1b expired Aug 1998 so Company said I couldn\'t work until priority dates become current so comeback later, mean while started working as an independent consultant elsewhere.
In may 1999 when priority date became current, I approached company Y again and they said Nope can\'t hire you back. After a lot of pursuation the agreed to help me with I-485 stage. filed I-485 in July 1999 (RD July 12th 1999, ND Aug 3rd 1999), meanwhile working for another company Z.
Finger printing done in jun 2000. RE received for a I-140 Redo in November 2000. The company flatly refused to file I-140 saying they couldn\'t do it as they had no intentions of hiring me back.
Now the question is what options do I have. I am desperate and need help, any Input will be appreciated.
I do know about the bill 2045. but it is not clear whether it applies to every case of I-485 pending over 6 months or only the cases after the bill was signed.
God bless.
Steve.
