PD will be maintained even it's denied as RIR and converted to TR
Based on this document, the PD will be maintained even the case is coverted to TR from RIR. So for those who have case converted to TR, please check your PD see if the original one remains.
1st paragraph on page 26 "If, after evaluating the RIR documentation, the analyst believes that the employer has not made a good-faith effort to recruit U.S. workers, a RIR denial letter should be generated through CAPS. The application is then forwarded to the traditional team for a supervised recruitment. The priority date of the application remains the same, but the date of acceptance for processing becomes the date that the denial letter is issued."
