Hello Rajiv, My I-140 was approved in May 2009 and unfortunately I lost my job and left US in October 2009. I intend to return back to US once I find good job. If my employer or myself file another I-140 could my priority date be retained from my original approved I-140. I see that current priority date for India is 2012 but obviously my priority date originally was in 2009. In this case can my priority become current as soon as I file my I-140. I will really appreciate your insight in such case.
Prior to January 17, 2017, the rules about priority date retention were uncertain. If your earlier I-I40 was not withdrawn or revoked, you should be able to keep your priority date.
