porting priority date after i140 approval

[hb_india]

Hello All,

 

Need Suggestion in porting PD between two 140 approvals in EB2 category.

 

Employer A filed my labor and 140 and pd is 8/9/2010

 

2 years back i changed my employer and got new 140 approved with pd 10/11/2013.

 

I asked my lawyer about porting my old date to new 140 and he said its not necessary.I can file 485 with my old 140.Can any one advice me on this if its good to port my old pd to new 140 right away.

 

Even i heard uscis is not porting old pd to new 140.Is it true?

 

Thanks in advance.

you can  request USCIS  to get  old PD(8/9/2010) by sending letter with copies of I-140s ( old & new ) .

 

Did you check A#  in  your old & New I-140s?

Are A# numbers are same in your old & new I-140s? if not you have request USCIS to consolidate A#

Hello Ramya,

 

Thanks for your reply. I do have same A# in my old and new 140.

 

If we have same A# then are we good or do we need to request a new 140 with old PD?
