Priority Date Question?

[tyzh]

I filed my RIR EB3 labor in March last year, get response early this year. After a salary boost and a re-recruiting, go approved sometime in June and did concurrent filing in August.

I just noticed on my fingerprint form, the priority date is 08/23/02. Is that suppose to be much earlier, when NY state DOL first receive my case? Am I understand it right? Does it matter? Should I correct this and how?

Thanks.

Hi,
I had checked my Finger print notice. It has got Priority date same as the date INS received my 485 application. I think this is not the priority date that will be considered. The Priority Date as defined is the Date you apply for your Labor. This is the date that is considered when there is any backed dates in availability of visas (Green cards).
