I140 validity - Division spun off before completing 6 months?

[confused_user]

My I140 is with employer A. Before completing 6 months with this I140, employer A spun off our division into a separate company (employer B). Now, employer B has restarted my green card process (right now, at PWD stage).

a) Is my I140 still valid? My H1B with employer B was renewed based on that I140. I am in my 7th year of H1B

b) Can I join employer C based on I140 from employer A?

Once you have an I-140 approved for 6 months, you are eligible for H1 extensions beyond 6 years till the PD is current.

Thanks for your response!

Will I140 be valid even though I was not part of the employer who filed for it, for 180 days?

1. The PD of the existing I-140 remains available to you for any future filing.

2. B could have taken over as" successors in interest" and did not need to file another I-140. Only the company can tell you why not.
