roger.slc Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi, I have couple of questions. I got my I-140 (application which has stamp of approval) through USCIS Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act. I do not have the I-140 I797 approval notice . My employer is not willing to share it with me. 1) Can a new employer apply my I-140 based on what i have from USCIS Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act ? I have worked as senior software engineer, software engineer and programmer for 10 years now. I have worked on various technologies and programming languages like ruby on rails, php and most recently Go lang (programming language) . I have I-140 as a computer programmer. If i change jobs now and apply for I-140 (new/transfer) 1) will my priority date remain same if i apply as software engineer or senior software engineer ? 2) Does me shifting programming languages matter ? experience letters all say what i worked on over the years. 3) When i apply for new/transfer I-140 does USCIS care about me changing programming languages ? 4) My new employer most likely will not give me Go lang (programming language) experience letter (3 years). Does that matter when applying for new/transfer I-140 ? I am on H1 and paystubs to prove i worked and was paid. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Once you have a priority date on record, you retain the ability to use that date in a subsequent filing irrespective of the EB classification or the nature of the job. Should you get an I-140 approved in future, you will retain the existing PD and what you have is enough to get the PD retention for the new approval. Quote Link to comment
