Hi All,
My I-140 was filed under the name of company A in June 2002. On Feb. 1 of this year, we were purchased by company B (completely-all assets and liab.) and company's legal name was changed. I received an approval for my I-140 this July under old company name.
Questions:
a. Is this I-140 valid and if I get laid off, can I use 180 days protection under I-485 (filed in Sept. of last year) and get another job and still get my GC?
b. I was told to file a new I-140 by my laywer and the company did this July. Waiting time right now is about 14 month. If my I-485 gets approved before that, can I get my GC?
c. If I filed a new I-140, do I need to file a new I-485 since legal name changed?
d. What if I get a promotion within the same company and I'll have a new job title? How will it effect the process?
All of my responsibilities are the same as far as job goes.
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,
