Reverse Porting EB2 --> EB3 Discussion

[infotalk]

The problem with attorney's are they always want to be politically correct and impress their clients. Would the same attorney advise Not to Port from EB3 to EB2 assuming EB2 is moving faster than EB3?

Either way new 485 filers will have interview if you file in EB2 or EB3.

I would recommend to go for downgrading to EB3 if that benefits your personal life and career.

If I have EAD card with PD May 2009 date, should I downgrade to EB3 ? I just want to hear from the green card interview perspective. Will i have to go through an interview if I downgrade to EB3 ? If I stay in EB2 I wont ? I am really confused on the green card interview process and who needs to go through it. If you can guide, that would be great.

Dear Friends,
I have a situation and idea. I will reach out to my company attorney but wanted to get thoughts from you guys!

1. My job was in City X in Company A.
2. PERM/GC 1 process for EB2 was done for City X job. PD is Dec 2010 and never filed I485.
3. Company A closed City X office and asked me to start working from City Y. It is 250 miles away. Therefore the PERM/GC 1 for EB2 is no longer valid since the office is closed.
4. Company A started new PERM/GC 2 for EB2 for City Y.
5. Now Company A and Company B have merged resulting in a new company and retains the name of Company B.
6. Company B has office location in City X.

Question:
Is the PERM/GC 1 application for City X valid. If yes, can i use this to downgrade to EB3, while PERM/GC 2 application for City Y continues to be EB2.
(Provided my company agrees to extend the offer for the job for City X).

Thanks!
