Recapturing Priority Date During Retrogression

Tanya Freedman, CEO Connetics USA International Nurse Recruitment Agency: Is it possible to recapture an expired priority date due to retrogression case EB-3 petition was not actively updated and the petition has expired since priority date was March 2003.

Chris Musillo, Immigration Lawyer: Probably you do need documentation of the 20 year old case. You also will want to check or have your lawyer checked to make sure that it hasn't been withdrawn or revoked, there may be some options even if it has been withdrawn or revoked. But at least in the most general sense, yeah, it's very possible to recapture a 2003 priority date. There's no legal reason why it can't be recaptured.

Tanya: All right, so it seems like you've waited a long time to come to the United States. So and get that that documents get that piece of paper and we'll help you come to the United States.
