I need some advise on my GC situation and hoping someone could let me know if my lawyer is following the right steps.
My company applied for non-RIR labor EB2 (India) in Feb 2004. This labor was approved in Sept 2007 (from the backlog center)
I changed positions within the same company and they applied RIR EB2 labor in March 2005. This labor was approved in July 2006. Since the dates were retrogressed for India at the time, I could not apply for I-485.
I applied for I-485 with the newer PD labor in July 2007.
Since my older PD labor is approved, my lawyer said we first have to file for I-140 then when it is approved, we can swap the older PD labor in the I-485 application already filed? Is this possible? Please can someone give some feedback
