If an H1B holder who's I140 approved and 6 years period ending in 6 months can transfer or switch company at this time ? Can I140 approval helps in transfer process of H1B or he/she only get the period of approval only till H1B 6 years validity. How the extension after 6 years ending works Since the future employer may not get the Green Card of the employee at that time. 

Kindly advice and let me know if need any clarification.

A valid and approved I-140 Petition can be used to request H1B time beyond the normal six-year limitation , even when the new H1B petition is with a different employer. However, there may be other concerns and therefore it is advisable to speak with an experienced U.S. immigration prior to making any decisions.
