I140 priority date is somewhere in year 2000 or 2001 (claiming old priority date)
I started a new tracker for November, just so that it is more organized.

Could you please explain what claiming old priority date means? Is it possible to use an older LC priority date even if the current 140/485 application is based on a different LC?
Regards
sunnycal said:Yes. It is possible to recapture your old priority date. I had a previous LC that was approved, even I-140 was approved but then the company shut down. I talked to my lawyer about my old I-140 approval and they said that they could capture the old priority date.
This will only matter and be helpful if EB2 category I-485 flilng dates backlog. That probably won't happen, but since I had it we tried to claim the old date while filing concurrently.
Check point #3 of this article.

I think your old priority date can only be captured if you had an I-140 approved. You might want to check with your lawyer about that.
Hope this helps.
