H1B Transfer while I140 pending, previous I140 approved

Recommended Posts

My I140 was approved with my previous employer A a few years ago

My current employer B has filed an I140 which is pending

I am in the 8th year of H1B (valid for 2.5 more years) with current employer B. My H1B extension was approved recently based on having an approved I140 from previous employer A

 

Questions:

 

1. Can I change my job from current employer B to new employer C and have C transfer my H1B, even though my I140 petition is pending with employer B? I will use the clause that I already have an approved I140 with my previous employer when I transfer and extend H1B beyond 6 years.

 

2. If my I140 with employer B is declined, my current H1B status is still valid for 2.5 years with the current employer, correct?

 

3. If my I-140 is declined with employer B, can I change my job from current employer B to new employer C and have C transfer my H1B? I will still have an approved I140 with my previous employer.
