Hi,
I have Two I-140 valid approvals ( and waiting for I-485).
Facts:-
(a) I got I-140 appoval which has priority date Oct'17, 2006 Under EB-3 category. This was filed by my first employer.
(b) I also got I-140 which has priority date Jan'8, 2011 Under EB-2 under category. This was files by my second employer.
(c) Currently I am on H1-B visa. 6 years of which will expire on Apr'15, 2011
(d) My current location : United States
(e) My Nationality : Indian
I have few questions.
(1) Is it possible that I can file I-485 when the EB-2 processing date is Oct'17'2006 or later ? Can I use the priority date of my previous I-140 ?
Please note that both the 1-140 were files under different EB categories however the job profile is same.
(2) Can I get H1-B extented for another three years based on my current I-140 ( which is from EB2)
(3) Can I independently file I-485 thru an immigration lawyer or do i have to be dependent on my employer.
It would be great is someone could please reply to the questions.
