Hi Peter, thanks for arranging Ask-Me-Anything.
I am working for a company A (which is owned by company B) on H1b while my Green Card process is at a stage where:
a. I have my EAD card in hand and I am waiting for interview and approval of I-485.
b. I-140 is approved some weeks ago.
c. Priority date is current due to small pools for my country.
Problem:
---------
On my H1b and Green Card documents "employer" is mentioned as Company A but on Jan 1 our company is going through a re-organization where Company A (my current employer) will merge into Company B.
I expect call for interview for Green Card in January and then hopefully a Green Card in 3-4 weeks. In such a case:
1) What would you recommend to avoid issues with Green Card process as the interviewer may complain that my employer is now Company B whereas on my documents its mentioned as Company A.
2) Will I have to file for amendment to the already approved I-140?
3) Will there be any problem if I have to file the amendment before or after my interview or does it not matter?
Our company lawyers are claiming there will be no issue in any case but because of their misinformed information I had my Advance Parole denied (because I travelled to my country while the application was in process). Therefore, wanted to confirm from a better source. :)
Thanks.
