Can you file EB2 and EB3 at the same time?

You cannot file EB2 to EB3 downgrade yourself. The US employer needs to provide you with an EB3 i140 application. i-140 is an employer-sponsored application and cannot be filed by an individual.

Can we port from EB2 to EB3?

The good news is most people who are eligible for the EB2 visa will qualify for the EB3 visa as well, and you can downgrade from EB2 to EB3. To downgrade from EB2 to EB3, the applicant’s employer will have to file an I-140 Petition for Alien Worker and a PERM labor certification.

Why is EB3 ahead of EB2?

But, there is one more reason- because there is EB3 to EB2 porting. Under the Dates for Filing category, this is even more noticeable: EB-3 India advances by about five years while EB-2 India advances by two years. Sometimes, the wait can be as long as ten years for the priority date to become current on the I-140.
