How can I port the EB-5 priority date of my spouse to my EB-1?
My wife is the principal applicant for EB-5, and I am the principal applicant for EB-1. We both will be on the application of each other. My company is applying for my EB-1, and it would be great if I could use our EB-5 priority date. How can I make this happen?

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onYou cannot use the priority date from an EB-5 petition for an EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 or EB-4.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onYou cannot port an EB-5 priority date to an EB-1. You can port from EB-1 to EB-2 or EB-3, and vice versa, but not to an EB-5.
