Hi guys, please help me with this I-140 amendament issue.
My original I-140 was approved last April and I filed I-485 in June 2001. My employer got sold in December 2001, (just 10 days before I-485\'s 180 days) so my attorney said I have to file an I-140 amendament. I submitted all the papers for signature right after the New Year and the new employer has not gotton back to me yet.
I am wondering what will happen in INS if I file the I-140 amendament too late. Will they link the I-140 amendament to my I-485 upon receipt of the amendament? That will probably delay my I-485. Or will they process the two things seperately? If this is the case, they might process my I-485 before even look at the I-140 amendament, what will happen after that?
I asked my lawyer the same question but he said he can\'t speculate such situation. Gurus, please help me. Should I push my new employer really hard to get the paper back ASAP or I should not be too concerned. You input is greatly appreciated.
