Priority Date Porting Between RIR and Perm
Hello Rajiv,
Thanks for your kind Services.
I have couple of questions :
1. My RIR is filed in Nov 2004, Still pending at Dallas Backlog and got Notice of Finding on May21, 2007.
My employer told he will reply for the notice in 2 weeks time.
2. My Perm got approved in April 2007 (filed in Feb 2007), My question is, can I port my Priority Date from my RIR to file I-140 based on Perm approval? (I haven't filed I-140 yet) or Can you suggest some (best) option to port my Priority Date from my pending RIR to I-140 (about to file).
My lawyer told, I can't file two I-40s with the same employer (each based on RIR and Perm) and he even told, when i opted to file I-140 based on Perm, my pending RIR will automatically get invalid. Is that true? I just want to know, how to port my Priority Date from my pending RIR to I-140 (ready to file based on Perm approval), Just in case my RIR didn't get approved.
As of now I'm on 7th year H1b.
Thanks,
Rajesh
