AC21 AOS portability: Pending AOS I-140 withdrawn before 180 days
Currently working with Employer B since 2020.
Employer A - 140 Approved in 2013. EB2 category.
Employer A - Provided form 485J in Aug and I applied for I485 in Aug. My dates retrogressed to Oct 2011 now.
Employer A - Desi consulting company, we couldn't find a project for me to join them and they withdrew I-140 in Jan. At the time of the I140 withdrawal I485 was at 150 days timeline. Now that 180 days have passed since I485 was filed in Aug, can I provide 485J with my current employer to port the I485 application? Will USCIS approve porting or deny as I140(approved in 2013) was recently withdrawn before I485 reaches the 180 days mark? Is there any way to appeal the withdrawal of I140 as beneficiary with pending AOS or ex-employer can withdraw without any issue? Are there any laws to safeguard the beneficiary when dealing with abusive and mean desi consulting companies?
You should talk to an employment lawyer.
Both Rajiv and Diane provided me with excellent guidance and support in my green card application. They answered all the questions in detail and also motivated me to move forward with my application. Diane personally took my calls many times to answer many questions that I had during the process. Right guidance from their team helped me get my I-140 approved in EB1 category. I would definitely recommend their firm to anyone seeking help for immigration.
