Can EB3 PD be carried to new EB2?

13 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I filed Perm under EB3 category on 1-Oct-2008. I got an audit. As per your current Perm dates, they are processing Aug'08 audits. Can I file with same employer under EB2? If yes, can I also keep EB3 file running parallelly. Is there a way for me to carry EB3 PD after I-140 Approval,if I file a new EB2? I completed 4yrs 2 months on H1B already. Please suggest me if I can change my employer now to file for EB2 or not. (If there is any way i can carry my EB3 PD for EB2 or not?). My lawyer said they can not change the current EB3 file to EB2 as they did not describe it for EB2 role.

It is logically inconsistent for two jobs from the same company for the same individual. If you have a good, logical, true explanation, there is no law that says you cannot have two PERM apps for the same individual for different jobs with the same company. But you cannot transfer PD until the I-140 is approved. I see no issue with changing jobs right away. You may have just enough time.

EB2 Schedule A question

Question details

My PERM application just got denied due to the recent layoff in my company. Can I apply EB2 (schedule A) to bypass the labor certification step? Will the recent PERM denial affect the Schedule A application? Is it ok to submit the schedule A application soon or I have to wait for a certain time period?

If you are qualified, you can apply for Schedule A. I cannot think of any way the PERM denial or layoffs could cause any issues and there should be no waiting to file.

You qualify for EB-2, of course, whether or not a promotion is required is entirely up to your lawyer and the employer to determine. Any position that requires an MS OR BS = 5 years experience (progressively responsible) qualifies for EB-2 filing.

Hi all, Finally I have got my GC approved. Just yesterday I recieved my card in mail. I am so happy and relieved because it has come in just the right time. Many thanks to everyone at immigration.com. These people are very professional. Specially I would like to thank Prerna, Vijay and Mathew for helping me out throgh out my GC process. I would highly recommend Immigration Law firm to anyone looking for representation in immigration matters. Best thing about them is you can actually talk to the lawyer or your assigned contact person yourself which unlike other law firms is almost impossible.. Great job guys..You are really the best.

EB-2 with three years bachelor's degree

Question details

I have 3 yr Bachelor's degree (BSc) + 3 yr Bacheolor's degree in technology(BTech) from India and 8 years of experience. Do I qualify to apply for Green Card under EB2 category if the position requiers MS or BS+5 yr experience.

Usually, you are NOT permitted to put together two 3-year bach. degrees. So, it appears unlikely you will qualify for EB-2.

I came to the United States by an H1B visa. The H1 visa was filed through my company's attorney which later I asked them to apply for my green card as well. Unfortunately, the attorney made several mistakes and I cancelled my contract with them. After some research and asking from friends and colleagues, I decided to go with the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna whose web site, immigration.com is well known. Obviously the cost was higher than our company's attorney but I used to hear lots of sad stories about how some unexperienced attornies lost the customer's hope, time, and money. So, I think it was really worth it because last week I received my green card after less than 3 years. This is a very good record for EB2 category. Another Iranian friend of mine took about 7 years to get his GC! Heather Riddick, Art Shifflett, Mathew Chacko, and Rajiv Khanna worked on my cases during this time and I am extremely satisfied by their experience, knowledge, care, and accuracy. Cheers to all of them and thanks again!

The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna have been helping me with my GC petition. Recently, my fiancee and I decided to get married, and I realized 2 weeks before my trip that I did not renew my Advanced Parole Document. Your law office was very quick to suggest that I apply for H1B visa (based on approved I-140) under Premium Processing. Rachel Nulty (Staunton, VA office) was my case manager, and she worked on the petition so meticulously that we got my H1B petition approved within 2 weeks in a timely fashion. I need to thank Rachel and the entire law firm for the professionalism you executed my case with. Your timely help with my H1B petition is extremely appreciated and is second to none. I am happy that I chose your law firm for my GC petition, and I am sure that we would be getting our GC in the near future.
