Where the I-140 and I 485 are concurrently filed, porting to a new job is possible after the I 485 has been pending 180 days. Determinative factors will be whether U.S.C.I.S. believes that the I-140 petition is approvable and whether the new job is in the same or a similar occupation.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
