Hi all
I am from India and have an approved EB1B I-140 with a PD of 11/1/2018. I also have a previous EB2 approval from 6/2015 for the same job that I am currently in.
1. I have heard contradictory statements from the lawyers that helped put together my 140 evidence package and my university about whether I can port my EB2 PD to my EB1 and apply for I-485. The external lawyer says it can be done, but my university international section says it cannot be done. Who is right? If it can be done, how can it be done?
2. My birth certificate is from India and the copy I have is an extract from the original register dated 7 years later than my year of birth though it clearly states the date it was registered (which was 20 days after my birth). My birth certificate also lists my name and my parents' name with initials followed by the given name with no family name. Will this cause USCIS to issue an RFE? If so, what documents can I provide to avoid this?
3. Finally, my passport that I entered the US with is almost expired. I already applied and received a new passport. On 485 and other forms which passport number would I use? Is there anywhere I can indicate that I have a new passport that will make it clear to USCIS that I am not out-of-status due to the passport expiring while the 485 is being adjudicated?
Thanks for any replies.
