H1B Change of employers

[Kishore Thota]

Hello All,
    Here is my case. Currently on H1B with Employer A and have I140 approved. My 6 year maxout will be around Sept 2018.

Q1- Can I change my employer to Employer B?
Q2- During H1B transfer, will I get my new H1B for 3 years based on my approved I140 or only until my 6 years maxout?
Q3- If for some reason, Employer B dint initiate my GC processing during the term, can I still apply for H1B extensions based on my I140 approval from Employer A?
Q4- Can I move from Employer B to Employer C in future based on I140 approval?

Q1- Can I change my employer to Employer B? YES
Q2- During H1B transfer, will I get my new H1B for 3 years based on my approved I140 or only until my 6 years maxout? It depends on how your new employer apply for. You are eligible for 3 years extension based on your approved I140 provided it was not withdrawn before 180 days from approval.
Q3- If for some reason, Employer B dint initiate my GC processing during the term, can I still apply for H1B extensions based on my I140 approval from Employer A? Yes. You are eligible for 3 years extension based on your approved I140 provided it was not withdrawn before 180 days from approval.
Q4- Can I move from Employer B to Employer C in future based on I140 approval? YES

Thanks Ask@Murthy. My I140 was approved in 2014, are there still chances that the employer A can withdraw my I140?

Yes, they can, but it does not affect you as it crossed 180 days long back.
