Hello,

Let me start with my question: Is it possible to port priority date from an existing employer sponsored EB2 petition to a new EB2 NIW petition ?

I am an Indian citizen with a masters degree in Electrical Engineering from Univ. of Maryland College Park. I have a pending EB2 petition (approved I140) through my employer but am also exploring a self petitioned EB2 NIW application in parallel. I would like to understand if the earlier priority date from my employer sponsored petition can be ported to the NIW petition, if approved. Please advise.

Thank You Mathew

Hi I was in USA from 2002-2013. I had an approved I-140 with a priority date of 2007. I came back to US in 2021 on H1-B. Can I use the priority date of 2007 to my new EB2-NIW application? I can confirm that the employed did not revoke the earlier I-140 application.
