I140 approval copy

[meetsana]

I am unable to get the i140 from my vendor and when i used FOIA i got reply that the record is not found. The i140 recently got approved around 2 weeks back so i need your expertise here please. Q1: Is it too early to ask for the approval copy to FOIA? Q2: What should i do next to get the copy of i140, i have only receipt number. Q3 If the A number in PERM document is the same as with the i140 document? Q4 Can my new employer can extend the H1B based on my receipt number and A number. Q5 What is the other way to get the copy of i140…Please help…Thanks a lot in advance

Ideally you will need to attach the approval notice however it may be okay to provide receipt, approval date and A number.
