Are the priority dates locked & portable with a approved I 140 in case of CP.
If you are thinking about leaving your employer, it is important to get the I-140 approved quickly because if you lock in the priority date, you will be able to take that priority date with you. When your next employer begins the permanent residence process on your behalf, you will be able to use the priority date you have already acquired. Sure, you still have to do the labor certification and I-140 all over again, but at least keeping the priority date will be a big victory.
