8老師，律師把我的perm原件弄丟了（perm有效期為11/15/3013 - 5/14/2014, eb3, PD not current）。 在1/15/14，我交了I-140，由於沒有原件，按照您上次的建議，在140申請中請求USCIS向DOL重新提供perm原件。
今天律師來信（我在下麵copy了律師的信），說lost perm is recovered (由於律師說之前弄丟是由於他們把我的perm誤寄到vermont center，今天的email裏他們也並沒有說recovered perm是vermont center 返給他們的，還是說DOL已經重新發了perm).
我的問題是：
1。 律師說盡管已經遞交了一個I-140, 現在可以在5/14/2014前再交一個I-140,並且premium process. 這個說法對不對？
-Not necessary. Actually you don't need to file a new I-140, especially your employer will not pay the I-140 filing fee. You don't need to provide the PERM certificate and USCIS should have it on their system. If USCIS did not have it, they may have sent you RFE for it already or will send you RFE for it later.
If you don't need the approved I-140 for H-1 extension beyond the 6 year limitation, you may not need premium processing. If you have to use premium processing, just file I-907 with the filing fee of $1225 for premium processing of your current pending I-140.
這對我之前的I-140有什麽影響嗎？
2。一般的lost perm recover步驟是怎樣的?
3。 如果recovered perm是vermont center return給律師的，
-I don't understand who sent it to VSC mistakenly, your lawyer?
或者是DOL重新issue的perm，這兩種不同的scenario對我的下一步做法有什麽區別嗎？
-Originally I suggested you to file I-140 (a few months ago) without the hard copy of PERM approval certificate and asked USCIS to retrieve the duplicate of PERM Approval from DOL (i.e. DOL to USCIS directly). It seems USCIS have done it for you, otherwise they may have rejected your I-140 or send you RFE for it already. So, I don't think you need to worry about it.
You may just ask the lawyer to contact USCIS to see whether your employer have provided all the required documents if you worry about it too much.
下麵是律師的email:
USCIS has returned to our office the original Certified ETA9089 that was in advertently sent to the Vermont Service Center. At this time, please let us know if you would like to submit a new I-140 filing to request premium processing. If so, we will send the original Certified ETA9089 to HR contact to obtain yours and her' signatures.
Even though an I-140 has already been filed, if you would like to submit a new I-140 with premium processing, the attorneys recommend we submit the request to USCIS in advance of the labor certification application expiration of 05/14/2014
多謝您的指導！
