Hello,
I have an AOS I-485 pending, just received biometric appointment letter and the company is being acquired. Due to certain complexities in the deal, the acquisition is not being done as "successor in interest" and is more of an asset purchase to reduce business liabilites for the acquirer.
From my research online if the acquirer was "successor in interest" then AOS can easily be carried over but since the nature of the deal is asset purchase can the AOS be carried over in any way?
If not, then from what I know so far everything needs to be redone starting from PERM. Is there any way that at least PERM gets carried over so that it does not need to be redone? This will save me lot of months which is needed for PERM processing and approval.
Is it legally possible to prove "successor in interest" from immigration standpoint even though the nature of the deal is asset purchase?
Thanks.
