Hi,
My I-140 was approved in 1998 under Outstanding researcher category. I-485 was filed immediately, but at that time INS had stopped processing I-485's. By the time INS issued RFE in April 2000, I had lost my job. I had to withdraw my I-485 and leave the country. Now I am working as a research engineer in US for another company. My prior I-140 has not been withdrawn. I want to know if I can use my prior I-140 to file for new I-485 for the second time. Is there any way I can use the new law about the portability with I-140 and I-485?
Thanks.
