inbhagan Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Is it possible to amend I-140 approval from EB2 to EB3 category without going thru new PERM process? Link to comment Share on other sites
gsnit Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I have I-140 Approved by company A. I joined Company B with that I-140 and got H1B extended for 3 years and my PERM is in Progress with Company B. I have an offer from Company C. Can company C extend my H1B with Company A's I-140? Does 180 day rule apply for Company B, in case my I-140 gets approved through Company B? Link to comment Share on other sites

Yes, as long as the job offer is still valid with that I-140 sponsor, generally someone with an approved I-140 for EB2 can refile the I-140 and request EB3. Link to comment Share on other sites

Provided the I-140 with company A was valid for at least 180 days and, if withdrawn, not prior to January 17, 2017, you can use that I-140 with company C to request H1B time beyond the normal six year limitation (and provided your priority date is not current).
