Recommended Posts

Hi 

I am currently in my 6th year of H1B and planning to change my employer in Oct/Nov 17. My current H1B visa expires in June 18. I have an approved i140. Please advise on following

1. Can I change employers and transfer H1B during 6th year.

2. Will my new H1B petition (after transfer to new employer) be valid for 3 years or only till June 18 (i.e. end of 6th year)

3. If the new H1B will be valid only till June 18, can I apply for extension of 3 years based on approved i140 of current employer.

Appreciate your feedback

Thanks
