I have a question about the downgrade process of EB2 to EB3. Currently my EB2-India priority date is 01/10/2010. I cannot file for I-485 just yet for EB2 but the date of filing for EB3-India is Feb 1, 2010. USCIS is allowing us to use the Date of Filing chart for all Employment based categories. To add to the confusion, I have signed an offer to join another company and we are just starting the H1-B visa transfer soon! Is it advisable to downgrade me to EB3-India with my current employer for March 2020 filing using another I-140 premium processing at the same service center? I want to make the EAD available to me and take up Advanced Parole instead of filing H1-B and then join the other company. Please advise.
How did you survive for so long?
Downgrade but consult a lawyer
How much time do you think it will take to get the EAD? Will th company wait for you or prefer you file H1B transfer since that can also be done in premium processing?
Ask a lawyer, not some random people
