Hi Peter, Thank you for taking the time to do this AMA.
The company that I currently work for has offered to start processing my GC, but only under an EB3. I have a masters degree in computer science from an American University, (and I have about 4 years of work experience) so I am technically eligible for an EB2 (and since I am from India, EB2 vs EB3 makes a big difference).
My question is, if I go ahead with the processing, Once I have my I-140 and priority date, would it be possible for me to switch jobs keeping the same priority date? If I move to a company with the means (and willingness) to file for a GC under EB2, would they be able to keep the same priority date?
Just trying to understand if this is something worth fighting for? Or if I should just accept the EB3 filing, get my I-140 and eventually move to a company that will re-file it under EB2?
- proberts 10y agoI should have put this in my opening comment but one way to deal with this is to "upgrade" the green card application - at the I-140 stage - after the PERM application is approved through the "exceptional ability" route. This is a reachable standard for many professionals and can transform an EB3 filing into an EB2 filing.
