applebunches Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hello All, I had a questions on H1B extensions based on an approved I-140. Key highlights of my case follow: I have an approved I-140 from Employer A. Employer A was able to get a three year extension based on the approved I-140. However, I got laid off at employer A. Of note is the fact that Employer A doesn't revoke the I-140. I found employment with Employer B, that was able to transfer the visa and get a three year extension based on the Employer A's approved I-140. The H1B VISA for Employer B is valid through July 2019. My questions follow: Will Employer B be able to get another visa extension post July 2019 based on the approved I-140 from Employer A? It seems that Employer B may not be willing to initiate the GC process until 2018. My concern is that I could risk running out of time on the H1B VISA that Employer B has through 2019. Can I join another employer, say Employer C, and in this case, will Employer C get a H1B VISA extension based on the approved I-140 from Employer A? In either scenario, once the GC process is initiated, will my priority date be ported as-is? If I leave the country for say a year, will I get six years on the H1B? If yes, will this be subject to the H1B lottery? Many thanks! Link to comment
redrobinidiot Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Did you get your answer? I have similar question. Currently on h1b with 140 approved with employer A. Changed to employer B and got 1 year extension. now I have 7 months left and to get visa extension again, does employer B(my current) has to file perm again? or can he use the I-140 that I have from company A. Please advice Link to comment
