I got my I-140 approval but EY Law said they can’t start I-485 until I get promoted. I’m trying to see whether I should apply H4 visa for my spouse so she can have an H4 EAD or wait until October to do this given I don’t get promoted and I-485 will be stalled for another year.

Its not a precondition on promotion. But, lately firms were applying on future position, due to several reasons. Probably that is what is preventing. Effectively you may not be eligible as of today, per the approved perm etc..just a speculation though.

That’s weird, why until promoted? Was your title per the PERM different ?

Hearing this first time, didn’t know such clause exists. What is your level now?

Looks like EY can file for a Senior position. I thought they can online file PERM for Manager position. When did EY started ung GC processing? After 1 year of tenure?

Did u get your PD?

I think the law firm filed your PERM as a manager, based on your input the target promotion year? Is that the case?

Hi OP - is your Priority Date current?

Following for AS1’s question.

Apply for H4 EAD immediately

That will take forever, but there is no harm in applying for H4 COS and H4 EAD now and then filing for I-485 in October

My current company will file H1 for me. I got an offer for a consultant role at D with 25$k extra than my current salary and 10$k sign in bonus but I am currently working as a Sr Con. Is it advisable to take a risk in my case considering H1 as a priority?
