H1B petition active time

[gharik25]

Hello,

I moved from company A to Company B. I have my approved i140 from my prev company (A). I got 3 years extension on my H1B now.

Now i moved to company B. But i got the new H1B petiton for 1 year . I am thinking of to going back to company A after 8 months (say) from now.

1) I want to know how long can my previous employer(A) hold my H1B petition for?

2) if GC process started with company B can i still go back to my prev company A?

Please suggest.

Thanks

In general, once a person ends their employment with an Employer, their H1B status with that Employer ends regardless of if the H1B petition was withdrawn by the Employer or not. If a person are currently in H1B status with Company B, and wants to return to Company A, then Company A will need to file an new H1B petition on their behalf.

If you have specific questions in regard to your case, I recommend that you contact a knowledgeable immigration attorney in regard to your case.

Hi, But one of my friends has joined his previous employer (A) after working for another employer for 6 months. He has not filed for New H1B.
