Downgrading from EB-2 to EB-3
My wife and I are currently on EAD's since Feb 2012 when the dates became current for our priority date and we were able to apply for the I-485.

I would like to thank my case manager Pramita and Roopa for getting my labor approved in EB2 Category. They prepared my labor certification perfectly and it got approved within a week after they applied my petition.
