1. Priority Dates for Employment-Based Form I-140 Petitions
The priority date attached to your I-140 is the single most important factor in your immigration case. Determining what the priority date will be has long been a source of confusion for immigrants and practitioners alike. Generally, for an employment-based visa petition supported by a labor certification issued by the Department of Labor, the priority date is the earliest date that the labor certification application was filed. Once the alien¡¯s I-140 application is approved, the alien beneficiary retains the priority date determined by the original Department of Labor filing, even for any future I-140 petitions, such as in the case of a new employer. Please keep in mind, however, that the new employer must obtain a new labor certification if required.
如何理解这? 只要我的I-140 通过了, 我换工作在新的雇主下重新申请LC,还能保持原来的PD?
谢谢各位,帮助理解一下!
