Hello All,
According to the USCIS website, a person can file their I-485
concurrently with their I-140 only if there are Visa's available for
their particular country of origin.

Currently my application is employment based, third preference from the
Philippines. The Sept 2006 Visa Bulletin says that they are processing
March 2002 for the oversubscribed group.

I guess this means I won't be able to ...right?

If this is the case when can I apply for the I-485?

My ultimate goal is to be able to be employed by another company (doing
the same IT job of course) after the 180 day waiting period after
filing the I-485?

Thanks in advance....
