Can I capture priority date? GC abandoned gracefully

Hi Kumar,

I had GC and couldn’t maintain the status as I was out of country for a long time. Then I went to embassy to abandon the GC gracefully. Now, I am back in USA for the last two years. Can I capture the priority date from abandoned GC to use now?

Thanks,
Suresh

Suresh,
Frankly, I dont know this case. You should check with an attorney.
Also, do update here for community benefit.

Sure Kumar. Let me contact attorney and update here.

As per the lawyer, the priority date can’t be captured. Once abandoned, all benefits are gone.
