H1B Ext with I140: Priority Current: diff employer

[Rakesh Nair]

Dear All,

If someone knows the answer with 100 percent surety then please answer:

I have an approved I140 with an old employer. It was approved many years back and has 'never' been revoked or withdrawn, it is just sitting idle with them. My old employer wont be helping with 485 stage and my priority has became current now. My question is: can I use the approved I140 for requesting the 3 year H1B extension with a different employer, even when the Priority Date of the approved I140 has become current now. Again I wont be filing 485 with the old employer. Please advise..

 

thanks in advance.
