Port EB2 Priority Date to EB1
Hi, I am trying to use my approved EB2 PD for my AOS under EB1 petition (pending). While I have written a letter (to be included in my application package) requesting the officer to honor my earlier PD, is it correct to put this earlier PD on my i485 alongside the pending EB1 petition number? Or just put the EB1 PD and allow the officer to make the change? In essence, how should I go with PD porting from EB2 to EB1 without the officer returning my application? Thanks for sharing!

@Rijo Rijo for my case i-140 approval had the EB2 priority rate. but the receipt notice had EB1 only. I am not 100% sure but looks like that proting PD date request should be part of i140.

my eb2 priority date is 2015, however priority date on eb1 approval is 2023. I just applied for 485 and my attorney has put 2023 in 485 application with a cover letter asking them to use my priority date from eb2. I’m waiting for receipt number. I will update if my application is accepted.

@M S, thanks for sharing. I have noticed that USCIS will use the earlier PD upon approving a petition but not at the time of receipt. Now, since my application is not approved, I am not sure how best to let USCIS know that I want the earlier PD for my adjustment.

@Rijo Rijo got it. mine was not concurrent filing. I believe once your I 140 approved your old PD will be applied to 485 too. Concurrent filing is common, I think you should be good. all the best!

@r g, What! Just to receive notice of receipt? What a pity!
