Why the advanced degree is much slower than the skilled worker?

[absorbtion]

After the LC, my lawyer filed my I140 with Advanced degree, but the processing date of this category is much slower than the next level skilled worker, 4/2nd vs 5/28th.

Why is this? I would have chosen skilled worker if I had known this before since it seems there is no any advantage for advanced degree at all.

Everything depends on how your job description was advertised for labor. If labor was approved for advanced degree you need to apply I-140 also in the same category, As far as dates are concerned, it is a big SEE-SAW sometimes one or the other is ahead, So hold your breath and pray.
