If I port my priority date from the I-140 filed by Company A to the one filed by Company B, does A’s I-140 become void?

Answer

Requesting retention of a priority date does not void or otherwise invalidate the original I-140 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. (17.Jun.2025)
