Abhishek1234 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hello, I am told that if you change job from Employer A with whom you have approved PERM and I-140 to Employer B then Employer B will have to file the PERM and I-140 again. Is that correct. I am also told by some that according to new Obama Executive order if you change your job to employer B then Employer B does not have to file for new PERM and I-140 , you can retain your old approved PERM and I-140. Is that correct. Please help me to understand which one is correct. Thanks Link to comment

MrPraveen Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yes , you have to file a new Perm and 140 with Employer B but you can still retain the priority date of Perm which was applied by Employer A itself. Executive action will take some time . Link to comment
OneHB Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Seniors, I am working on my employer payroll from past 4 1/2 yrs. Labor approved, waiting for I140 approval. Priority Date (PD) is Jan 2014. I 140 submitted in Sept. 2014 and expecting it to get approved by end of 2015. My concerns are below: 1) Can I join a new employer who is a prime vendor for a big end client. 2) Be with the current employer, wait until I140 getting approved 3) When is the good time for me to move to different employer without missing my above PD. Thanks for your time Link to comment
ashuneel Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 1.you can join new employer but you will get 1.5 yrs approval. 2.you can do that 3.only after I-140 approval as PD is not established until I140 is approved. Link to comment

It will be 1.5 yrs for new employer as you do not have approved I-140. You can only go past the 6 yrs if you have approved I-140 or PERM/ I1-40 pending for more than 365 days. In the situtation you have pending I-140 you will get 1 yr extension after the first 6 yrs. Link to comment
