A few years ago, my sister, who is a U.S. citizen, filed an I-130 for me. I recently got an EB2 I-140 approved. Can I use the priority date from the I-130 for my I-140 case?

Answer

Unfortunately, no. Priority dates cannot be transferred between employment-based and family-based petitions. (17.Aug.2023)
