hi guys,
There has been a very sudden development in my immigration proceedings. i work for a big company (with facilities in 20+ states). my company provides contract services. i had my EB-3 I-140 approved in feb. 2006. My priority date is oct. 2003 (so i can't file I-485 yet.). my company had several facilities in illinois area and i had decided to move from the facility where i filed my labor petition and had my i-140 approved to another one closer to my home starting this week (6-19-06). the other facility is about 14 miles from the first facilty and within the same metropolitan area with the same kind of work profile and job requirements etc. i approached my HR office yesterday to apprise them of my transfer and asked my HR head to check with our company's law dept. and find out if any thing needs to be changed in my immigration paperwork.
i learnt today that the other company which was contracting us, has decided (yesterday) to terminate our contact (the termination will be effective july 31st) and the other company will go inhouse from aug. 1st and offer all the employees of my present company to work for them. my present company intends to close it's business here and move out of the region altogether. i will know more by friday so, i intend to contact a lawyer this weekend. but meanwhile, i am somewhat confused. i will be in my 6th year on H-1B starting next month. i haven't heard from my HR dept. yet. what are my options at this time??
