transfer of PD from old LC to new LC

[gcwhenever]

If anyone can help with my questions below, would greatly appreciate it!

I had an approved LC from my old employer (but they did not file I-140) and I recently changed jobs (too good an opportunity to pass up to wait for I-140).
My new employer's attorneys are saying that if I can get a copy of the approved old LC (i.e. Form ETA), I can transfer the PD to my new immigration case.
I was under the impression that you can only transfer PDs if I-140 is approved.
Anyone know if this is possible?

Also, my old employer is refusing to give me the Form ETA (although they gave me the letter from DOL showing certification of LC with case#). They do not plan to use the LC for any other employee.
Is it possible for me to get a copy of Form ETA from DOL directly, or is this the property of the employer?
If it is possible, can someone send me the number to call at DOL?

Thanks in advance for all replies!

PD porting

In order to port your earlier PD you need to have i-140 appreoved with your earlier employer. Just labor approval through earlier employer will not be sufficient.

I have been trying to port my PD from EB3 to EB2 but without success. I am trying to find out specifically which law or rule allows this?
