Hi,
I'm a Software Engineer and my company applied for my labor in Aug 2001 in NJ. That labor was for the position of Senior Software Engineer.
Now my company wants to promote me into the Senior Software Engineer position. Am I allowed to be promoted into a position for which my company has already petitioned INS? Or do I have to wait without a promotion for the next 2-3 years while my green card case progresses to closure? That would be ridiculous.
Can anyone help me on how companies handle employee promotions while green card is underway? Can they possibly promote me and still officially record me just as a software engineer, so INS does not ask questions or otherwise refuse my labor.
Thanks,
