✅ EB-3 I-140 Approved with Incorrect Priority Date Retention - India/Other PD December 2016

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- A beneficiary with an original EB-2 I-140 priority date of December 2016 had a new I-140 filed by a current employer, which was approved but shows a 2024 priority date instead of retaining the 2016 date. The beneficiary also noticed a changed beneficiary ID compared to all previous I-140 petitions. The case raises questions about whether these discrepancies need immediate correction or can be addressed later. An employment-based green card applicant with a December 2016 EB-2 I-140 priority date had a new I-140 petition filed by their current employer. The petition was approved, but the approval notice reflects the 2024 filing date as the priority date rather than retaining the original December 2016 date. Additionally, the beneficiary ID on this approval differs from all prior I-140 approvals across multiple employers — a first for this individual. The petitioner's attorney advised this can be addressed later, but the applicant is uncertain whether the discrepancies pose a risk during adjustment of status or future employer-sponsored petitions. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1uspx7b/new_i140_has_wrong_priority_date_and_a_different/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
