K2M Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I am working for company A in USA. I have worked in USA on h1B before with company A. Since my 6 year limit is reached I was transferred to outside USA. Now I am back in USA on L1B visa with company A. My I-140 was applied when I was previously in USA by another company B with the intention to hire me after I-140 was approved. I-140 was not approved before my 6 year limit. So I didn't join company B. After I moved outside USA, my I-140 was approved. I have the I-140 approved ( from Company B ). Now, my current company A applied for I-140 and approved. Since my previous H1-B 6 year end date was more than a year from the priority date ( but all I-140 approval happened after the 6 year deadline), What are my options now for me to move to H1-B 1. Using the recently approved I-140, Can my company A transfer me from L1-B to H1-B ( not new H1-B, extend the old H1-B ) 2. Though Company A has applied I-140, can I still use I-140 from previous company B and move to company B by extending H1-B. Link to comment
