Withdrawing Your Form I-140
The petitioner or the petitioner's Form G-28 representative may request to
withdraw a Form I-140 at any time. However, if the petitioner requests to
withdraw a Form I-140 that has already been approved for at least 180 days,
or when an associated Form I-485 has been pending for at least 180 days, we
will not revoke the approved Form I-140 and the beneficiary will retain the
priority date from the form. We will consider the job offer withdrawn, but
the Form I 140 will remain approved for purposes of INA 204(j) portability
unless we revoke it on other grounds. See 8 CFR. § 205.1(a)(3)(iii)(C) (
revised effective January 17, 2017). In order to become a lawful permanent
resident based on the continued approval of this Form I-140, the beneficiary
must either obtain a new job offer under INA 204(j) or have a new Form I-
140 petition filed on his or her behalf.
