QUESTION
Can a I-130 visa be filed as a backup to an I-140 visa?
Asked on Feb 13th, 2011 on Immigration - California
More details to this question:
His company filed I-140 for him in 2008 but now the PD is still in 2006 (it's moving very slowly in the recent years). As a back up, i am wondering after my mom gets her green card, can she file I-130 for him under the F2A category?

Yes, a person can have more than one type of petitioned filed on they behalf. Then they can proceed on whichever petition becomes current first.

A person is allowed to have an I-140 and an I-130 petition pending simultaneously. This is a common strategy!
