Urgent. Please help !

Am currently employed with Employer A for the past 3 yrs and my employer has initiated the GC Process. He has informed me that my I-140 is approved with a priority date of Dec 2010. But he is not willing to share the receipt # or the scanned copy of the approved I-140 form. He says that as per company policy, they dont release I-140 copies to employees. Is that legal ? Arent employees entitled to receive a copy of their documents ?

Now I have a good full time offer with Employer B and they are willing to transfer my GC; Since my employer is not even willing to share any details on my I-140, am not sure how to retain my priority date while porting to Employer B. Is there any means by which I can get the receipt # or I-140 copy from USCIS ? Also even if I get it, will my Employer A be able to revoke my I-140 once I move out of the company ?

Why should an employer NOT revoke a petition for a former employee? It only makes sense to do so.

File a FOIA. You may get lucky.

Iam not sure if you are allowed to pay for I140. But though the fee came from your pocket, employer has every right to not disclose it to you. I would take the FOIA route
