Labor substitution.....
Vermot_Goldie,
Using an LC cleared for another employee, is an accepted practice, and saves lot of time.
However there are some critical issues which should be looked at closely.
To be clear about this, try and get a copy of the LC.
The form # is ETA 750.
In the lower right hand corner, you fill find a small box, in which you will find a date, under 'S.O', this is known as the priority date,or the date when the LC was filed. This date is important.
In this form look at the following areas:
Item # 9: Name of the job title.
This is the job title, the employee is promised once he gets his immigrant status.
Your current title need not match this. If it matches it is good.
Item # 12: Rate of pay.
This is the promised salary after the GC.
Your current salary need not match. But the employer has to give a letter at the time of your GC interview that he is prepared to give you this salary.
Item # 14 State in detail the MINIMUM education,training and experience ..........
You should have the education qualifications, as on the date of filing of the LC( look at the actual wording ).
You should have the same or more experience as on the date of filing of the LC ( look at the actual wording ).
Item # 15 Other special requirements:
You should have fulfilled these special requirements, in one of your earlier jobs.
