Hi,

I am told that section 8 C.F.R 204.5(e) (which deals with priotity date rentention) does not apply when you use PERM. I.e. when you already have an approved i140 to be used as a basis for priority date retention and start a new petition using PERM. Is this true? I believe it is not, but a "reputed" :rolleyes: bay area immigration law firm thinks that PERM will not allow for priority date retention.

Thanks,
Sc3
