Hi, i am in EB2 with a PD of may 23 2011. Unfortunately i did not qualify for i485 filing as the cut off date is may 15. Employer may consider downgrading to EB3 and concurrently file for i485.
However i am considering job opportunities outside and most likely jump the ship in the coming few months (no offers yet, expecting one and few more interviews lined up). Is it worth now to switch jobs and start from PERM all over again? Can we switch jobs in the middle of the downgrade process and still retain the PD.
What do you suggest if you are faced with similar situation. Thanks in advance.
