I 140 approved from Employer A and Changing job to Employer B

[yankees]

I have my I 140 approved from Employer A in July 2013. I want to switch my job to Company B and Company B is ready to start the GC process right away. Is there any way that my PD can be retained from Employer A.

 

My Employer A will revoke the I 140. Please suggest

[pontevecchio]

Yes. The lawyer will reference the existing approval at the time of filing the new I-140.

Yes. The lawyer will reference the existing approval at the time of filing the new I-140.

Even though the Employer revokes the I140 petition and approval came back in past 2 months only

[pontevecchio]

Yes. But if it is only 2 months it makes no difference whether your PD is today or 2 months later.

Generally, as it stands now, even when an I-140 petition is withdrawn by the sponsoring employer after approval, the Beneficiary of that I-140 can retain the priority date in future PERM/GC filings.
