Priority Dates for Employment

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.

如何理解這? 隻要我的I-140 通過了, 我換工作在新的雇主下重新申請LC,還能保持原來的PD?

謝謝各位,幫助理解一下!
