Impact on H1/140 After Moving Out from Country

[knilesh26]

1.    My current employer is filing a new perm application. Through my earlier employer, my I-140 has been already approved. My earlier employer didn’t revoke it yet. Would filing new Perm application voids the existing approved I-140?

2.    After filing the new perm, if I happen to relocate to my home country (India) for few years, would it halt the perm process and void my existing approved I-140? 

3. Is there something like reentry permit on H1-visa? If I wish to come back again after 2 years, would I need to go through the lottery process again?

1) Not 100% sure on this

2) No

3) No need to go through lottery again

1. No

2.No

3.No, as you have an approved 140. Any company can use that 140 to file a cap-exempt H1B petition.
