Thx a lot GP! This leads me to ask you another question rgdg #3 - what if the previous employer does not withdraw the original LC, but once certified, uses it for another employee (say) or just holds on to the certified LC. Will the employee for which the LC was originally filed still get to retain his PD?gp111 said:GC_dreamer
[1] Is this valid only for cases filed after 1/1/05, or will it be effective on that date even for cases filed earlier?
NO.. The Filing works on PD (The date your LC filed to SWA/SESA).. & The Date retrogression in only expected in EB3.
[2] The second sentence says that this comes into the picture only when LC and 140 are approved. However, later it goes on to say that the priority date remains with the alien, even if a new labor is filed with the same or different employer. This leads me to believe that the labor was not approved earlier. Totally confused here!
It means once you file a LC your PD has been established. That PD will be used for your eligibility of filing I-485 when your LC/I-140 gets approved.
[3] Bottomline is, does this mean that if an employee is laid off, or leaves his/her current company before the labor is certified, and the new company files a new labor, the employee retains the earlier priority date?
If the Previous employer continues to sponser the original LC (does not withdraw it) YES, the employee retains the earlier PD.

Thanks a lot GP!!gp111 said:If they Just Hold the LC, the PD can be retained but if the LC has already been used (substituded) to file I-140 the PD goes away.

sam. said:Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me if my H1b Job Title is different than LC job title then will it create problem for me?
I am going to complete my 6 yrs of H1b term in last week of March 2005. Currently my GC application is with SF DOL with RD is March, 2004. SWA send some queries (I heard they asked company details) before it got forwarded to SF DOL.
My original H1b job title is "Database Analyst" but my LC DOT Code is 999.151-061 ie. "Database Administrator". We found this discrepancy while filing for my H1b visa extension, so my lawyer is saying we should use "Database Administrator" job title while filing for extension. I am not sure it is a good idea?
Also I would like to know how it will affect my H1b extension application and GC application?
Thanks,
Sam.

Are the cases with RD before 08/14/2003 or cases with RD after 08/14/2004 being sent to the BECs.
My DOL RD is 06/18/2003.
