A few years ago, my EB2 I-140 was approved based on my position as a Software Engineer. Last year, I went to India to work for our parent company as a manager for one year, and my employer is now filing an EB1(c) I-140 for me. Can I use the priority date from my Software Engineer position and apply it to my managerial position?

Answer

Ordinarily, yes, the priority date from any I-140 petition filed for an EB1, EB2, or EB3 case can be applied for any other EB1, EB2, or EB3 case filed for the same beneficiary. (23.Oct.2025)
