Raja123 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Masthu chepinav thi - below is latest news from may 2015 and June 2015 BIA decision on Priority Date Retention at Odds with Longstanding USCIS Policy JUNE 3, 2015 BY ASHEESH SHARMA Recently, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) issued a non-precedential decision ā In re: Grace Estrellado ā that merits attention because the result appears contrary to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Servicesā (USCIS) policy regarding priority date retention. More specifically, under past practice, USCIS allows a beneficiary of a new I-140 to retain the priority date from a previously approved I-140 petition after the first I-140 was withdrawn or revoked as a result of the beneficiaryās move to a new employer. An exception to this policy occurs when the original I-140 is revoked based on a government finding of fraud or willful misrepresentation. In another related scenario, USCIS allows for priority date retention occasioned by the beneficiaryās āupgradeā to a different employment based category (i.e., EB-3 to EB-2) than originally approved. The ability to retain the priority date applicable to an earlier approved I-140 is significant because it enables the beneficiary to change positions or employers without prolonging the wait for a green card based on a later priority date applicable to more recently approved I-140 petition. In the case of an āupgradeā, EB-2 priority dates may become current sooner than the EB-3 category. Therefore, a beneficiary may obtain a green card more quickly if the priority date applicable to the previously approved I-140 (EB-3) ports to a subsequently approved 1-140 under the EB-2 classification. Under the facts of In re: Grace Estrellado, the respondent, Grace Estrellado, was the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition with a 2006 priority date. Ms. Estrellado subsequently obtained another job and was sponsored by the new employer for a green card. As a result, Estrellado became the beneficiary of a second approved I-140 with a 2011 priority date. Estrellado argued the 2006 priority date should apply to the new I-140 and enable her to immediately adjust status because the old priority date had since become current. However, the Immigration Judge, and the BIA on appeal, determined Estrellado was not eligible to retain the 2006 priority date because the first I-140 had been withdrawn by the earlier employer and its approval thereafter revoked. In so holding, BIA appeared to strictly apply regulations stating revoked petitions do not confer priority dates totally apart from the context of longstanding USCIS interpretation and policy allowing for (in the absence of fraud or willful misrepresentation) priority date retention in instances where the predecessor I-140 had been revoked by operation of changing employers. It is important to emphasize In re: Grace Estrellado is a non-precedential BIA decision and, as such, is only binding as to the four corners of that particular case. Nevertheless, the holding ā that the beneficiary may not utilize the priority date from her original I-140 petition because her prior employer withdrew the I-140 and its approval was thereafter revoked by USCIS ā appears to ignore (or affords no weight) to prior government practice to the contrary. The above case illustrates past government practice is not a guarantee and is ā at times ā subject to piecemeal and seemingly inconsistent interpretations. At Sharma Law Offices, we strive to keep current with respect to such contingencies, and likewise advise consultation with an experienced immigration attorney prior to a changing oneās employment status. Ā Although the regulations indicate USCIS can revoke an approved employment petition for good and sufficient cause and that if the agency does so the revoked petition will not confer a priority date on the foreign national, USCIS has consistently interpreted this to mean that an individual can retain his or her priority date unlessĀ USCISĀ revokes the petition due to fraud or misrepresentation.Ā The BIA decision referenced below could be a sign of things to come, but is not binding on the agency and is not, in our experience, how USCIS typically handles these situations. Ā We have not had the experience that USCIS will not honor an earlier priority date, if the previous employer (as opposed to USCIS) decides to revoke the I-140 petition.Ā We will keep the company updated if we notice a change in USCIS practice.
