I-140 Lost by Lawyers

Hello,

My I-140 was approved last year and we were waiting for th priority date for 485 filing. But in the meanwhile my company switched from one law firm to another and documents were misplaced in the process. So, the original I-140 is lost and I have a copy of it. Does anyone know if a duplicate can be furnished by BCIS and the process thereof.
If not, how does it affect the process of GC filing.

Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thank you very much!
