I have a approved I140 with PwC. Wanting to move to a different location. Do the immigration team redo the PERM and I140 process again without complaining? Has anyone done this? Indian born

I won't be filing a I485 in this lifetime. Priority date will only come after a 100 years

funny

Then you’re screwed

That’s fine. Retaining priority date is different from priority date becoming current. I recommend you taking a look at the PERM process online to educate yourself before panicking.

Or is it even required?

Must wait 6 months after i485 has been received by UCSIS. Then , together with approved i140, can move provided position stays the same

Seriously ?

Go google the ramifications of changing location. I think you’ll need to redo the whole process. Good luck. My view : go back home

You will have to go through the whole process again. Your PERM is tied a specific location and job, you change either of that, you will have to redo the whole thing. You can however retain the priority date so you won’t lose your spot in the line. Unless you really need to move, I suggest you wait for an Year or two before you switch because of the current immigration landscape.

I thought the PERM and I140 are for future employment. Being born in India my priority date may never come.

Redo the whole process

Don’t worry about priority date..follow the process and stay current and valid with your immigration and visa status..you are not alone

My issue is, I have so much firm's work that I have hard time to work on my cases/clients. It feels like my cases are supposed to be done after hours (like after 6 pm). My work hours are crazy. I feel this is unfair and since my firm's taking 70% of my sales. Should I ask for a raise?
