  1. I have an approved I-140 from a previous employer. My PD is Aug 2014 in EB-2 and am from India. EB-2 for India jumped to Sept 2014 in Apr 2022 visa bulletin for Section B. Application for visa. Which means I can apply for I-485 I think. I have not yet started the PERM / Green Card process with current employer yet and at the same time have received a couple of new job offers. Whether I start my PERM process with my current employer now or join a new company and start immediately hire ( if they are ready to do so) will a matter of 1 - 2 months I guess. I am not keen on joining the employer through whom I had I-140 approved. What I wanted to understand is if there is a deadline to file the I-485 ? Lawyers at current employer said that it would take 12 - 14 months to get an approved I-140 .
  2. Thank you for the information @JoeF and @Leavemessageh1b @Leavemessageh1b- A couple of lawyers said that is it sufficient for USCIS to receive H1B transfer application within 60 days. Did you mean the same or that the transfer application should be complete / approved within 60 days?
  3. Work in California on H1B visa. Was laid off on 7/9/21 and received by last paycheck the same day. Want to understand few things .The paycheck I received is dated 7/1 - 7/15/21 but pay prorated for number of days worked in July . They offered 4 weeks pay as severance package, but it looks like it would be a 1 time payment. Asked them to keep me on payroll instead to extend the 60 day period but employer said they cannot do it. - When does my unemployment period start - 7/9 or 7/15 ? - For the 60 day unemployment period - Do I need to receive a job offer within 60 days or have my visa transferred within 60 days or satisfy some other condition to not be out of status ? - Am I eligible to claim unemployment benefits from Cal State. If I do claim would it have any legal repercussions in future for Green Card etc ??
