Downgrading a Case from EB-2 to EB-3 for Priority Date Advantage
Question details
I am with my current Employer since 2008. My GC is filled in EB2 with Aug-2010 Priority Date. Only I-140 is approved so far.<br>
1) Can my employer file me under EB-3 concurrently without affecting my existing EB-2 filling?<br>
2) If yes then what is the procedure for that? Do I have to do my labor and I-140 once again?
