seateeram Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I am in sixth year of H1 but my current employer not filing GC. I have a I-140 approval from my previous employer on EB2 category. It was approved on May 2012 but I left the company on oct 2012 which is less than six months period. My questions are: * Will I be able to obtain a new H1 with a new company X providing I-140 approval from my previous company Y? * Six months association after I-140 with company Y is mandatory? where it helps? * How do I check If my previous company Y did not revoke my I-140. I check the status in USCIS today it still shows that the approval notice sent on May 2012 statement. Does that mean it was not revoked? * will I be able to join the previous employer Y and continue the GC process? Please advice. Thanks! Link to comment
jairichi Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yes, you can get 3 years extensions beyond 6 years on H1B with employer X using an approved I-140 from employer Y. No. Looks like it is not revoked but confirm with employer Y. Yes with an approved H1B petition. Link to comment
Belle Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 1. Probably. Talk to a lawyer first. 2. You are talking about some urban myth here. There is no obligation to ever work for a company that just sponsored you on I-140. 3. That's why you need to talk to a lawyer. 4. If they take you - sure. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 1. You can get 3 year extensions if the I-140 is not revoked by that time. 2. Not mandatory or required. 3. Possibly. Best way is to ask them. 4. It is up to Y and hence you should ask them. Link to comment
