What are my option now? I have details like receipt number, A number, Priority Date from the email notification received from Fragomen. I havent received digital copy of I-140 yet.
Reason for leaving: Was tired of waiting for the PERM/I-140 process. Was postponig my joining date from 4 months now.
I read that I can get the approval copy from USCIS. What are my other options to get it after leaving Amazon?

Option 2 - File a FOIA request immediately
Proceed with both the options
If you still have access to your Connect account, a soft copy is likely available to you in the Documents Section under the name: I-140 Approval Notice (may depend on your company’s policies). Do this quickly as your account/case will close eventually. If that does not work. you should just email and ask for it. 95% of the time former employers are nice and will give it to you. Very spiteful when they don’t give it.
If none of those work, explain the situation to your new lawyer up front. They will file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request for you. Might slow down your case a bit, but shouldn’t be a real problem.
