GCfromIL said:Yes, if I 140 from company A belongs to you then you can use that PD with company B. But you have to start the GC process from scratch with company B and use the old PD at the time of filing your new I 140. This is a vey controversial topic in this forum and I have checked with couple of attorneys who are very confident that there will not be any problem in that. I am not sure if you are aware where the grey area is - the problem araises when the previous employer revokes your approved I 140.
TigerAmit said:I am working on this issue and found that if your employer revokes I-140 then you cant transfer your PD to new I-140.
I am talking to couple of good recruiters about
1) Filling PERM without being on their payroll or transfering h1.
2) Once PERM is through; use your current PD along with new I-140 app.
3) Once you get New I-140 with your PD, transfer your h1 to new employer
10 Weeks for Applying PERM
02 weeks to get approval
01 week for applying I-140
02 weeks for approval
So roughly if you can plan for next 4 months then its possible to safely get your PD transfered to new employer without risking your GC
This is an important area I think we need more information on.. Does anyone know if there is any way to get more information on this .. I am also interested in knowing if the PD is maintained only for a "similar" job position?. As in, can someone apply to a job where the job description is different and still continue with older PD?.. thanksGCfromIL said:Yes, if I 140 from company A belongs to you then you can use that PD with company B.

medan_raj said:Thanks , Valid & useful Info Tiger Amit.
Also i have couple of queries . can you /anyone pls clarify :
1.) Can we do the PD transfer before/during /after 485 ? which is less risk (before 485/ during, after 485)
2.) can we do a H1 transfer after 140 is approved (or) during/after 485 process & continue the same GC process (without a new GC application with new employer).
3.) can a EB3 PD is transferrable to EB2 (for both intracompany & inter company transfer)
4.) I have signed 3 years agreement as post-GC commitment. Is it legally valid in CA, NE ? can i break it? if so, how
Pls help me , its critical for me.
Thanks a lot !

Hi TigerAmit and others,TigerAmit said:After you change your employer and new emp files new I-140 and
your old PD appears on your new I-140.
If your current employers revokes I-140 before you are done with new I-140 then you lose your PD.
After you get your PD on new I-140, your old employer can revoke but it has no effect on you.
You can file 485 with your new I-140 irrespective of old 140 revoked or not...this is my understanding as of now...
