H1B transfer using I-140 approval

[malargm]

Hello,

 

I'm on H1B extension based on I-140 approval with current company. The H1B extension will expire in 7 months. I'm hoping to get a new job in next 3 months.

 

Can I apply for H1B transfer with new company based on I-140 approval from current company?

 

Thanks.

Yes. Leave current employer after you get 3 years valid H1B approval based on I-140.

Thanks. Will I able to retain the priority date of my current GC while applying GC for different job title at new company?

Example: I'm a software engineer at current company and I got a job offer for manager in new company.
