Maybe just a rough idea ?
Trying to figure out number of people whose I140 has been approved more than 5 years back, and are waiting
Has anybody's I-140 been revoked by a previous employer? If yes,
does it show as revoked in uscis case status page?
I have applied for I-485 concurrently with I-140 just before Christmas of 2018, I have not received the biometrics appointment letter so far. Many colleagues who filed along with me received it last week, is there a general timeline for issuing biometrics appointment letter? There a one or two others like me who are yet to receive it as well, so was wondering if it is normal. I received the I-485 receipt notice last week.
My I-140 was revoked by my previous employer and I got a NOID from USCIS. I hired Murthy and responded to NOID. The rule is that the Employer cannot revoke I-140 after 180 days. I remember the status of my I-485 showing status as NOID, but don't remember what status my I-140 had.Quote:

Do you guys recommend filing for downgrade as early as possible or do I have the luxury of waiting for 6-7 months and then decide based on the PD movement in visa bulletin? Would you recommend concurrent filing in EB3 instead of downgrading? What is the time do you think approximately to reach the date of May, 2011 under EB3?
I am not a numbers guy and don't have the capability to crunch numbers and data as some of you do. So I would appreciate some input based on your calculations and predictions.
Thanks in advance.

I think EB3 I will be FAD May-Jul 2010 by September 2019. Then slowly we might see the downgrade porting starts. EB3 I might not have a ton of petitions because once EB2-I went June 2011 current for few days which was later revoked.
To clear EB2-I backlog until April 2010 will take atleast 2.5-3 years at this pace, however not a lot will downgrade as they already have I-485 and frankly its not advisable.
I think are around 34K petitions ( EB2+EB3, original which translates nearly 68K total petitions). So lets assume that EB2-I quota will still be clearing backlog. So it might take around 6-7 years to clear June 2011 (Both EB2 and EB3)
Is my understanding correct ? Out of 34K petitions how many could be in (Duplicate, people moved out of US etc).
Thanks! Looks like employers will have no need to revoke and will not likely put the effort to revoke after 180 days.Quote:

So, it appears that, if the previous I-140 position is still available, one can resume green card process with previous employer anytime.
Exploring options if my EB2 to EB3 downgrade does not go fine. The lawyers are trying to discourage and scare me at each step.
My priority date is December 2009 and my I-485 was filed concurrently with I-140 just before Christmas of 2018. I have received the I-485 receipt notice last week, but yet to receive the biometrics appointment letter. Many of my colleagues who filed with me (on the same date) have received biometrics last week, is this wait time normal in my case? Please suggest.

Well I think you have enough time on hand to wait for this. It is not reaching 2011 for EB3 for another year and s half. The biggest variable is hindrances to downporting.Quote:

I have EB3 August 2010 date and has been with same employer till now, never ported. Now am in a situation where I am almost close to get an offer from a company I want to be in. New employer is not sure of when they start GC process and which category. HR didn’t know any immigration details to start with. How confident that we see Aug 2010 for FD this year. This is tough situation for me to make a decision.. waited long but things turned now for good or bad. I don’t want to be in EB2 kind fiasco (dates retrogressed like in past) if I continue same job or start new GC without knowing when and what... I appreciate if you can help in providing your visibility about EB3 FD and FAD expectation.. TIA
When changing job on EAD, what pre-cautions should be taken care. My case is from 2009 and a lot of technologies are changed in last 10 years.... plus my role/salary has also changed... I am trying to find out how would it be possible to change the job if a good offer comes on way.
Sorry, I was not asked but still putting my thoughtsQuote:

And I expect a very high percentage of EB3s who ported initially to downport too. So date would go into 2010 but then retrogress back to 2009.
And from next year EB3 FAD would move by about 4-5 months per year - primarily due to downporting pressure from EB2. That's unless downporting faces some major hurdles like adverse decisions by USCIS. If not EB2 guys from 2010 onwards are not going to wait 3-4 years for their date to get current. Barring USCIS decisions, I expect EB2 guys to get around their hurdles with employers or lawyers which may prevent them to downport.
FD will change in either March or April for sure. It’s just USCIS won’t honor it.Quote:

I like the prediction of Sanjeev. Except that in Sept 2020 FAD will reach Oct 2010 and in Sept 2021 it will reach Feb 2011.

I have one more I-140 approved with employer B but I do not intend to go back to them if at all in case the date becomes current for many reasons. Thankfully my original employer, A is supportive and willing to process my GC further whenever the date become current. Now my questions on which I really need your valuable advice/feedback are as below:
1. Since EB3 dates are moving faster, I plan to utilize my first I-140 approval in EB3. My past employer is still holding on to it and is ready to process it further for me. Does this plan sounds OK, or are there any potential issues?
2. Does that employer need to have a project in hand with an end client to show on paper that he can afford to hire me, it just his intention is enough? Because if a new project is required, I can manage that. I can just go through him for my ongoing project.
3. What other 'things' I need to take care of for this if any
4. And here is the most important question I have for you (it is OK if you want to skip any of the above questions for time/length purpose. As per CO, EB3 final action dates will move 3 months each for next 3 months. Which means, by May-19, dates will move to 17-Jan-10. So the question is when will I be able to apply for EAD/AP? I.e. when will filing date pass the PD of 1/8/2010 and DHS will be ready to accept filing dates? Will really help if you can shade some light on this. No one is paying much attention to FD because mostly people have EAD/AP, but I am desperately looking forward to reach that milestone.

You can call it whatever - I just go by common sense. I predict based on what i would do if I were in others shoes. If I were an EB2 from late 2009 onwards I would be thinking ALL the time EVERYDAY as to how I can downport and end this nightmare.Quote:
