FLAG data deletion PERM

This is about the recent news on h1b and PERM data deletion of records older than 5 years in FLAG system.

My previous employer had filed for my green card with i140 approval in 2020. Later I switched jobs and my i140 was withdrawn after 180 days. I am using it for my h1b transfer and renewals since then.

My current employer does not want to start my perm process anytime soon. In such an event, if my old PERM records are deleted since they are 5 years old, what problems can I face with future extensions?

There should be no problem as far as I know.

Your i140 and PERM record (submitted at that time to USCIS) will remain with USCIS and they won’t be deleted.

No need to worry.
