I hope your I140 is still active and not revoked.

If you switch employer it will not affect i140. After 180 days of approval it cannot be revoked.

What are the possible options to get my extension with new employer.  - Using I140 you can apply for H1B extension any time during year. You will get extension depending on approved active I140, company and your profile.

New employer need to apply new h1b?  - YES.

What is the ratio to get and approve my h1b.? - The risk level depend on your and employer profile. Sorry no magical formula.

Look @ https://www.uscis.gov/forms/petition-filing-and-processing-procedures-form-i-140-immigrant-petition-alien-worker

Nobody can guess the ratio of approval, not even president.

If the I140 is approved for more than 180 days, new employer can apply for an extension based of on it even if the old employer has revoked it.

You H1 approval will depend on your particular petition and can not be generalized.

Hi, are you saying that with an approved I-140 (>180 days), you can get an H1 filed on your behalf while you're outside the US? Also, there's no need to go through lottery?

Also, would you be able to help me with this question: 

My original birth certificate was in a bad shape and was laminated by my parents a long time back. Would that cause issues later on in the immigration process? I have an approved I-140 and I'm not sure if my birth certificate copy was used so far in the process.

Thanks!

Hi, are you saying that with an approved I-140 (>180 days), you can get an H1 filed on your behalf while you're outside the US? Also, there's no need to go through lottery? -- yes if I140 apporved and it is more than 180 days then the employer who got it approved cannot revoke it. Using that any employer can apply for H1B extension anytime of the year outside lottery. You can be outside of USA while H1B application.

Birth certificate as far as I know we always provide copies of it.  As long as you can make a copy of it then it is fine
