General I-140 Porting priority date from EB3 (140 approved) to EB2 without copy of I140 approval notice

Porting priority date from EB3 (140 approved) to EB2 without copy of I140 approval notice

Thank you very much for reading this thread

I want to know if it is possible for me to port the priority date from an earlier approved 140

Below is my situation:
---------------------

I have an I140 approved under EB3 (at that time I had less than 5 years of experience) with priority date of Feb 2008 .This was done when I was working for employer A under L1B visa.

I dont have the copy of approval notice for I140 and labor as the employer refused to share it with me - but I have the I140 receipt number provided by the employer using which I am able to check the UCIS website that the 140 is approved.

Now I have joined employer B on H1 visa I would like to know if employer B starts the Green Card processing under EB2


Things I wnat to know :

1. Is there any way for me to reuse the old priority date.
1. Is there any process to get a copy of the 140 approval notice from UCIS
2. The I140 was approved on Jan 6 2009 but I resigned from the employer A on Dec 25 2008 - Will this have any impact on porting the priority date.
