*******Validity Date Query - Hi1 B Transfter After Completing 6 Years ********

[jobas2007]

I have completed 6 years on my H-1 and have got extension till year 2013 based on approved I-140 with current company - say Company A.

If at this stage, suppose I go for an H-1b transfer to a new company - Say Company B (who may be willing be sponsor GC), will i get the new validity date (post H-1 B transfer of "new" H-1b) of 3 years (say till 2014 - 2015) OR I will still get the H-1b till 2013 only, because the Company B is yet to start GC?

And once I get I-140 approved from Company B , I will be able to get 3 year H-1b extensions subsequnetly.

Appreciate any help on this.

No period in H1 status can be more than 3 years at a time. Assuming the I-140 is not revoked you will be able to get a 3 year extension from now.
