About filing for I-485

[Kudla]

My I140 is approved. To apply for I-485, my employer says that i need to wait for the date to be current. Is it so ? Where can i see the current date ? And also, how to know the date i can apply ?

Please advice.

Yes, you will need to wait until your priority date is open. Check the USCIS website for the current priority date. Your Labor filing date is your priority date.

Yes. But ask your new employer to file Labor + I-140 again and recapture your old priority date while filing for I-485 once it become current.

Out of US, while one wait for the priority date to be opened ?

Yes, you will need to wait until your priority date is open. Check the USCIS website for the current priority date. Your Labor filing date is your priority date.

Should one has to be in united states until the priority date is open ? Can i be out of united states for this period ? Please advise.

Yes. GC is for future employment.

So can i work in india until my priority date is open, and then come back to US and file for I-485 ?

Possible. You don't need to come to U.S to file I-485.

Thanks for the update!

I looked into the I485 Inventory for India, and for my filing date i.e. Dec 2007, it shows '0'. What does this mean ? Please advise.

I recommend that you post this question in the forum dedicated for GC.
