Change employer at h1b 7th year

[kumar_s]

Hi,

I am currently on 7th year and having I-140 approved. Planning to change employer.

I wanted to know, new employer needs to fill H1B transfer based on my current approved petition with I-140 approval copy?

Please let me know the process to transfer H1B.

Regards,

Siva

New employer can apply for a H1 using the previously approved I-140 copy to get the extension beyond 6 years.

The process should be the same as any H1 transfer, except for providing the additional I-140 copy and citing the relevant clause which allows for extension over 6 yrs. Ofcourse a good attonery will be able to handle this easily.

Generally, a different employer may file an H1B petition on behalf of an employee using an approved I-140 petition as the basis for the extension. Please schedule a consultation with a knowledgeable immigration attorney to discuss the specific facts of your case and the documents that need to be submitted with the petition.
