ria0234 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi All, I have H1B and priority date of 2011 under EB2 (No EAD). I currently work for a very reputable US based company which is doing good. I have received an offer from a decent small-midsize company and I really like the work being offered and that's what caught my interest. The salary bump is minimal but I will have a lot of good and meaningful work and lot of visibility. Now the question: The lawyer is telling to join them after an AC21 for my H1B transfer. I do not necessarily understand how exactly that works and how it is different from H1B transfer. Any suggestions for or against it? Is this a risky path? Any inputs that you can give to explain AC21 will also be great. I did google it and to me it sounded like more of an EAD option, which i do not have, so most probably I did not understand the AC21 process. Thanks for your help Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 As per AC21 you are entitled to three year extensions beyond the initial total of 6 based on an approved I-140. You do not have to do anything except documents requested to file your H1 with the new company. Link to comment
