My Greencard is approved recently under EB1C category, is there a minimum wage mandate by state. I live in WA state.

Thanks.

Hello,

I have finished my 6 years on H1 and I140 approved (2 years ago) with my current employer A. I also have a H1 renewal in process with them. 

Now I got a good offer and want to join new employer B. 

1. Is it safe to change employer considering H1 extension is not yet approved? OR I should put current H1 to premium processing, have it approved and then change employer.
2. Is it safe to join new employer on H1-B receipt?
3. Will my current employer-A get to know about my this new H1-B processing (if my future employer initiates)? I want to take experience letter after resigning them as people do run into issue during GC process without experience letter.
4. I should do this after JAN- 17-2017 so that my current employer won't be able to revoke my I140, correct? 
5. My current designation is "Programmer Analyst" with employer - A, is it important to keep designation same when i join employer - B for I-140? Or doesn't matter anymore? 

Thanks,

Mayank

The wage must correspond to what was listed on the approved I-140 petition.
