My husband's I-140 was approved back in May, 2011. His lawyer sent an email/letter to US CIS asking to port his eb3 to eb2. After a month of waiting our lawyer sent another request. US CIS officer said that we would have a decision by August 1, 2011. On August 2 our lawyer re-contacted US CIS again. It's been a few days and we still didn't get a response. We were told that US CIS in Texas is very good about porting. I'm just curious what is the average wait time for the Texas office.

I would be greatfull for any input.
 
Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to my question. What is the average wait time for porting eb3 to eb2?
 
Of course, the new position must meet the EB2 requirements

Of course, the new position must meet the EB2 requirements, and the individual must qualify for the offered position. The starting point must always be with the job requirements, not one's own education and experience. It is the job that must fit within the EB2 category, as the law requires that the employer specify the minimum education and other qualifications for the specific job.

It is not unusual for an individual with an EB3 case to qualify for EB2. This happens when one acquires additional education and/or experience through the years during which the EB3 case has been pending. Over time, people often are promoted into jobs that may meet the EB2 requirements.

did your husband EB3 I-140 was approved in past and I-485 was filed on the base of EB3?
Did your husband got NEW I-140 approved in EB2 in May 2011?

*** Your lawyer is just sending emails. He should draft a letter and make the request according to Situation. May be you need to INTERFILE copy of new I-140 approval with Pending I-485(I dont know your full details)
