I-140 PENDING AND CHANGE OF EMPLOYMENT.

[RaviGanesh]

Hello,

My I-140 has been filed in July 2016 and is in pending status. I want to switch to a new employer. Do I need to change the employer only after getting my I-140 approved ? 

Please let me know what is the advantage of doing that ? If I change employer before I-140 is approved, then do I have to start again from the PERM process ?

Please help me on this. 


Thank you.

In either case the new employer would have to start the process from scratch.

The only advantage of having an approved I-140 is that the PD can be reused.

Hi Joe,

i have few questions related i140.

1.What happens if the H1 transfer to new employer is approved and i140 is pending , is it an automatic cancelation or employer has to withdraw the petition?

 2. if the i140 is approved and after i move to new employer , can i still apply EAD for my Spouse who is on H4?

3. After the H1 transfer is approved , im i immediately considered an employee of the new employer ? what happens to the old H1 petition after transfer.(before joining the new employer).
