Here is the little detail of my case.
- I left a consulting company(mid size) and had a approved labor after 4.5 yrs.
- Joined full time position in fortune 100 company on H1B and filed my new labor from new company just 370 days before 6th yr of H1b started
- At that time there was no rule of 7th yr extension with pending labor in June 2002. So I requested my previous company to file 140 and intended to join old employer after GC approval
- Filed I-140 in Aug 2002 and 485 & EAD in Oct 2002 based on approved labor of old employer. 140 got approved in July 2003 and my 2nd EAD got approved recently. I never used these EAD for my current employer
- My current employer filed 7th & 8th yrs of H1B extension based on labor pending for more than 365 days
- Here problem comes - labor from 2nd employer is approved while I am waiting from approval from my previous employer.
Please suggest what are the options I have -
- Can I file 140 & 485 from current employer again while waiting for approval of 485 from previous employer?
- Should I withdraw 485 application and file thro' new employer
- Use AC21 - only hiccup is - labor from old employer is approved as DBA and currently I am working as Technical Lead in application development.
Your suggestions will really help me to decide future course of action.
