At last I-140+I-485. Want to use AC21 rule

At last gor my receipts (filed 10/28). Filed for I-140 PP at my employer cost. Will be eligible to change jobs under AC21 in May! Yahoo!

Has your I140 approved ? Is it 15 days to get a result for I140?

Amazon am--- OP Feb 19, 2021

It is 15 days to get a result

NVIDIA rfgeh32 Feb 19, 2021

What's in May? You expect to get EAD approved by May?

Amazon am--- OP Feb 19, 2021

I hope so. But mostly becase my I485 will be pending for 180 dats and cannot be revoked

Did you get a call for biometric?

Amazon am--- OP Feb 19, 2021

No, I guess it is too early

Google tooolonggg Feb 19, 2021

Don't do it. Wait for I-140 to get approved then move to the next employer after 180 days.

Amazon am--- OP Feb 19, 2021

This is what I am going to do! Thats why I asked for PP.

Google tooolonggg Feb 19, 2021

Good. I am in the same boat. Just waiting for PP to get upgraded so that I can leave this place.

Amazon SXIs47 Feb 19, 2021

Ah lucky you man. I am ROW also and can file both I-140+I-485. Still waiting on PERM approval (priority date in August). Should be coming next month. I am exhausted and need some good news. If audit happens not sure what to do with myself

Amazon am--- OP Feb 19, 2021

Hey Man! All will be good! BTW you can ask your attorney if your PERM is audited. Afaik if not you are good!

Amazon SXIs47 Feb 19, 2021

I think last email they sent they said analyst review. And from what it seems they are now processing those that applied in July. Crossing my fingers. Did your manager pay for premium for I140?

Amazon sling1 Feb 20, 2021

Was your PP request accepted? Majority of the PP requests are getting denied.

Amazon am--- OP Feb 22, 2021

Mine was accepted.

Amazon sling1 Feb 22, 2021

Congratulations

Google tooolonggg Feb 21, 2021

Is Amazon willing to do PP right away ? Somehow Google's BAL attorneys are taking 6+ weeks to upgrade to PP.

Amazon am--- OP Feb 22, 2021

Yes, they did an upgrade in 2 days

Google tooolonggg Feb 22, 2021

Nice. When did your receipt arrive?

Amazon sling1 Feb 21, 2021

Amazon is not paying for PP.

Amazon am--- OP Feb 22, 2021

I negotiated with my manager

Amazon Soulsong Feb 21, 2021

Anyone knows if h1b transfer can be kicked off before 180 days? So when 180 arrives, can jump immediately?

Amazon sling1 Feb 21, 2021

H1B transfer can be done in 2 weeks in premium processing. However if you move before 180 days of aos filing, EB3 downgrade gets scrapped. Even post 180 days you don’t have I140 then your portability is at risk of I140 is not approved.

Google tooolonggg Feb 21, 2021

@sling - thanks for sharing your knowledge. So the fundamental requirement is to get the new (EB3 downgrade) I-140 approved and wait for 180 days even if EAD doesn't arrive by that time.

Amazon Lpgarrila Feb 24, 2021

can you do pp h1b transfer 2 weeks before 180 days? Anyone?
