is H-1B extension possible with approved i-140 from old employer beyond 6 years?

[vasand]

Hi

i moved to new employer B in march 2016. i have not started my GC process with new employer B.

my old employer  A filed my GC and also got approved I-140 in april 2015. Currently i am about to complete my 5 years stay. Now i planned to move to new employer C, so i am not interested to start my GC process with current employer B.

the below are my queries

1. is that possible to get H-1B extension after six years based on my old employer A's approved I-140 without starting my new GC process with current B /next new employer C?

2. is that mandatory in my case i should have started my GC process before 365 days with current B/next new employer C when i complete my 6 years stay?

please help me on my above queries.

thanks.

Hello,

Did you get answers to your questions? i have same 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

Rob

With an approved I-140 or an I-140 approved more than 6 months ago, you can get H1 extensions beyond the initial 6 years in total.

It it possible to get multiple extensions based on a withdrawn petition from previous employer( withdrawn after 180 days of approval)?
