Question for I-140 and AC-21

[RIRLabor2002]

Hi,

I did I-140 based on Perm approval (2006) and I can not file I-485 as dates are in 2003.

If my I-140 gets approved can I change the employer - for the same job or do I have to have I-1485 filed for more than 180 days ?

Where do you fall in AC21?

AC21 allows follwing...

1) Change the employer on H1B any time
2) Change similar job on 485 after 180 day of filing
3) 3 year H1 extension with I-140 approval after 6 years h1b.
4) H1B 7th year extension after labor filing with pending/approved.

I-140 approval !!

Hi All,

Guess I am one of those unfortunate guys who might not be able to use my own labor certification. Can someone shed some light on the following:

1. Currently I am on my H1 7th year extension. Applied for labor in Aug 2004 recently got an approval from BEC Dallas. However, when preparing for 140 my attorney noticed that she stated the Job requires "Bachelor of Engineering" and in the Major field she mentioned "Computer Science" and 4 year of exp. I have B.E. in Civil Engineering + 4.5 year of exp. My attorney thinks there is hardly 1% chance for my approval due to this discripency in degress.

Can any one let me know how big of an issue this can be when applying for I-140, since this is my own labor certification will they tend to accept?.

Also, in case if my I-140 gets denied, and if I plan on reapplying labor in PERM and then eventually apply 140, will it affect that case. In other words, how does a 140 denial affect my future case with the same position from same employer..

Please advice??
