140 withdrawn by previous employer

[vejandla]

Hi All,

I have my 140 withdrawn by my previous employer. I am not sure about the date he withdrawn on. Can i still use this priority date when my new employer files my PERM. ?

Confusion:

I have read in so many blogs that if 140 got withdrawn in less than 180 days of approval i can not use it for porting.

When i have asked my lawyer .. He said, i can use it for porting..

I am little confused... Any prominent resource from USCIS website will be appreciated.

Do i need to file for a new perm before my 6 yrs of h1 expires to get another h1 extension beyond 6 years? or Can i still use my withdrawn I140 to get the extension.

My lawyer said yes, [i have Zero faith on this.. and i believe this is completely wrong..]

But a prominent web link from USCIS will be appreciated.

Stop reading dubious blogs which are erroneous.

As regards H1 extensions you can get H1 extensions beyond the initial 6 years if the PERM is pending 365 days or I-140 is pending 365 days plus or I-140 is approved.
