  • Concurrent filing of green card - Help Required

    Hello ,

    I am from India and currently on H1B in US. My employer has agreed to file green card for me and PERM will be started in a month or two. However, my employer is saying that they can not concurrently file I-140 and I-1485 since I am from India.
    I require help to understand few things.

    1. Per my knowledge priority date is date when PERM is filed. Is this correct ?
    2. Visa bulletin for June -2014 is mentoning that for EB2 category current date is 15th Nov. 2004. So when my I-140 is filed and approved will I be tracking against this same date ( might move by a month or two ?) or will there be separate current date for my filing ? How and where should I track it ?
    3. I read this article online :

    Author is mentioning that in March-2014 bulletin , priority date for that category as of March 2014 is Nov 4, 2015. How this is possible to have priority date in future ?

    Thank you for taking the time and answering the question.

    1. Yes.
    2. You will track the Priority dates which are current at http://travel.state.gov/contenthttps.../bulletin.html
    3. That is just an example they have given. The current priority date for EB2 for India is 15 Nov 2004.

    For workers who are filing I-140 petitions based upon approved PERMs, to be eligible to file concurrently, their priority dates must be current.

    EB2 wait time is still nearly 10 Years away. When the Date mentioned for EB2 for India at http://travel.state.gov/contenthttps.../bulletin.html is greater than your priority date at that time then you would be able to file I485. As per current trend maybe in Jun 2024...you would see EB2 Current for June 2014 in the Visa bulletin....

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
