H1B Renewal and job change

[Ayish]

Hello,

I am currently on my last few months of my 6th year on H1B. I have my I-140 approved from my current employer and my company has also filed for my H1b extension and it is pending. What are the general processing times for H1b renewal? Also the current company I work in has some financial issues, in case there is a lay off or the company shuts down before my Visa is renewed what are my options to get a H1b from another new employer. Can my new employer extent my H1b as well ?

Your new employer can apply H-1 as well. Processing times vary from 3 months to 8 months. Better upgrade to premium.
