How long is I-140 Valid

[srinathk11]

HI,

I have my I-140 approved from Company A.

The company policy is to give a copy of approved I-140 when one leaves the company and they wouldn't revoke it.

How long is I-140 valid if it is not revoked.

Even if i change status to F1 and then back to H1 or move to india for few years and come back on fresh H1, can i still use the old I-140.

Generally according to current practice and interpretation, if an I-140 petition was approved for an individual and the I-140 indicated the Beneficiary would be adjusting status in the U.S., the I-140 will be considered valid until either withdrawn or revoked, and as long as the position in the underlying Labor Certification and I-140 is still available. As there may be other concerns and complications it is advisable to speak to a qualified U.S. immigration attorney to discuss your short and long-term goals.
