Hi my wife's LC recenly got approved. Her lawyer keeps the official approval and only gave us a copy. Now, we want to change to another lawyer to file I140.

1)Is there anyway we can get a second copy of LC approval from state SESA directly? If we can, who should we contact?

2)Since we have the photo copy of LC approval, can we use it for I140&I485 application? Or only the original one will be allowed?

Your reply will be highly appreciated!
 
Attorney can file I-140 for you and at the same time he needs to attach a letter in which he requests the INS officer to request a duplicate labor from a Certifying officer at the DOL.

Check following paragraph taken from DOL website:

Certifying Officers shall issue duplicate labor certifications
only upon the written request of a Consular or Immigration Officer. Certifying Officers shall issue such duplicate certifications only to the Consular or Immigration Officer who submitted the written request. An alien, employer, or an employer or alien's agent, therefore, may petition an Immigration or Consular Officer to request a duplicate from a Certifying Officer.
