Labor RIR Approved but...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company A had applied for an RIR Labor app in Oct'2002. In Mar'06 we got a letter saying that case was closed. Then the attorney asked it to be reopened and it was reopened. Then now end of Aug we got the approval.
Im in my 8yr of extension based on this RIR.
Ok since then in early 2004 Company B bought Company A. Then in Mid 2004 Company C bought Company B. Attorney at that time said i dont need to file any H1 and can stay in the H1 from Company A because it was a successor of interest !
but now the attorney is saying that it will be very difficult to prove this is a successor in interest and there is no way we cna get the I140 approved.
So..
1. What do you guys think ? Has anyone gone thru' something like this. Any ideas ? I have also applied for PERM with the current company.
2. How long can I continue without filing I140 for the labor that was approved.
