question about gc

[missindia12]

hi,

my company applied for my LC in Feb 2000. This was for a job under EB3 category as at that time I didn't have 5 years experience. I am having 5 years experience since June 2000. My job duties have changed since I applied for LC and I have acquired new skills but my job posting is the same.

If I wanted to apply under EB2 category, can the company now cancel my original petition and apply again
for the same job posting ?

If I change my job post internally in the same company, can they go ahead and start the whole process again ?

I read somewhere in this bulletin that once I-I40 has come under EB3 , you can then apply under EB2 and still retain the priority data of EB3. Can you please give me more information regarding that option.

I have only 2 and half years before my 6 years are done and hence am very keen on having it under EB2.

Please advice

Keeping in mind the details you have mentioned, you can apply for EB2 by starting all over again.

You can retain your old priority date if your I-140 for EB3 has been approved.

By changing job post, if you mean changin job location; then the answer is you don't have to change job location.

i am sorry that i didn't make myself clear.

what i wanted to know was can the process be restarted for the SAME JOB again ?

Thanks

If it is the same job at same place with same job duties/responsibilities, you can't use that experience in EB2.
