Q.

I-140 PD transfer

I have EB2 India i140 approved from old employer with PD Dec 2005.

If I request transfer of PD while applying for i140 with new employer -
1. For whatever reason if current employer's i140 gets rejected, do I lose old i140 and old PD ?
2. If I end up leaving current employer before filing 485, and current employer revokes new i140, do I lose old i140's PD also?


Can I transfer PD at the time of filing i485 with current employer when old PD (Dec 05) becomes current, and current employer's i140 is not yet approved. Note - This scenario, PD transfer not requested while applying for i140 with current employer.

3. Can I transfer PD at the time of filing i485 with current employer when old PD (Dec 05) becomes current, and current employer's i140 is not yet approved. - NO

Note - This scenario, PD transfer not requested while applying for i140 with current employer. - It does not matter: in order to be able to file AOS and use the first I-140's priority date both I-140s have to be approved and the PD of the first I-140 has to be current.
