Status of I-140 EAD?

[Gnosticdude]

What is the current status of I-140 EAD? Is the new rule being discussed STILL for “compelling reasons” to apply for EAD? And if that is so - What is left for rest of us?

No one knows the status of it, thanks to this firm that this rule became useless and no one is eligible for EAD.

That isn't appealing :( .. 

 

I'm sure there must be a thread already on this - but I wasn't able to find it. I have an approved I-140 (PD: March 2013) and my H-1B will be expiring in Sept 2017. I still have almost 6 months to go before my company files for my H-1B extn again based on AC21.

 

My question is - I plan to change my job as soon as my H-1B extn comes in. Assuming that my current company retains my approved I-140, what all factors do I need to work on for smooth transition to the new company and retain my current Priority Date?

 

Thanks in advance!

Make sure your I140 is not revoked at that time.
