I just received my I-140 approval notice and the priority date mentioned is April 23, 2003.
I checked the approved copy of my labor application. It was filed with SWA on 07/24/2002. The box LO is blank, box RO has 04/23/2003 and there is a received stamp on top of every page which says 07/24/2002.
I read in the forums that whatever appears in box LO is the priority date but in my case somehow it is blank and only a received stamp with that date on top of every page.
So going by this what should be my correct priority date ?
If my correct priority date is 07/24/2002, should I approach USCIS for correcting it on I-140 approval notice ? Should I have to approach DOL/SWA before approaching USCIS ?
I am affected by the retrogression of visa dates. This extra 9 months in priority date may be a big loss and worth the effort to get it corrected.
Has anyone been in this situation before ? If so please post your experience and your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
