Once we port the priority date from company A to Company B, the company A’s PERM application will be void automatically?

Answer:

Priority date retention happens at the I-140 stage. Requesting retention of a priority date does not void or otherwise invalidate the original I-140’s PERM application. If Company A chooses not to withdraw the I-140, it continues to remain valid for immigration purposes, even if that priority date is retained and applied to another case. (06.Jan.2014)
