H-1B extension with I-140 approved from a different job and field

[elegantscorpio]

Hi folks,

I hope somebody can help me here.

Here are the details of my case:

I have an approved I-140 from my previous employer, a Civil Engineering company. I lost my job with that company during the recession and right now I work for a software company on H-1B visa. I am in my 6^th year of H-1B.

My question is: Can I get an extension of 3 years on my H1-B visa using the approved I-140 even though I have switched my field of work? BTW my old company has not revoked the I-140.

Thanks
