USCIS has announced that once an I-140 petition is approved, the priority date is generally secured. This confirmation highlights that the only circumstances under which a priority date may be lost include revocation of the I-140 approval due to agency error, fraud, or willful misrepresentation of material facts.
Key Details:
- Priority date is locked upon I-140 approval.
- Loss of priority date can occur only if the approval is revoked.
- Revocation grounds include agency error, fraud, or misrepresentation.
- This policy ensures stability for applicants awaiting green card processing.
