Reusing P.D

[p98]

I completed labor and I140 stages of green card process in EB3 category (P.D is Dec 1997) with Company A.
I would like to file in EB2 category with Company B as future employment . I would like reuse my priority
date of EB3 category for EB2.

My question is, To be able to reuse the p.d, when should I have to submit my approved I140 document in
EB2 process. Is it at labor/I140/I485 time? Priority date is assigned at the labor stage. So, I guess I
need to submit approved I140 document at the time of filing for labor. Please correct/suggest me the
right time.

Thanks very much in advance and I appreciate your
responses.

At time of labor and at time of I-140 and at time of I-485/CP.

Reusing P.D

Many Thanks for your reply to my question. You advised me to submit my approved I140 document at labor, I140 and I1485/CP times for reusing P.D.

My Lawyer says that we need to apply at the time I140 but not at Labor time. I am not able to convince him. Is there any document that you can point to me so that I can show the same to my lawyer. I tried my best looking at INS websites for this information. Please guide me in this issue.

I am worried that if I don't submit at labor time, I may loose the chance of reusing P.D.

I don't have any official document for this.

Do you need the ORIGINAL of the approved LC and the ORIGINAL of the approved I-140 to be given to the new company before they start the LC process?

I have copies and procuring originals might be a hassle?

thanks

Any clues on what documents (originals or copies) need to be submitted to reuse a priority date?
