H1-B tranfer with Approved I-140 during 8th year H1 period

[Reddyram456]

I am in my 8th year H1 (valid until June 2013) with approved I-140 and a priority date of June 2011.I am now offered a Permanent position by my client.Would it be a wise decision to take this offer at this point of time ?. Can you please answer the below.

• If my client can file my H1 in premium and my Labor immediately in EB2, Will I be in legal valid status even if my employer revokes my H1 and I-140 ? Can I port to my old priority date if my employer revokes I-140?
  
• If I get 3 year H1 with the client based on my approved I-140 and if employer revokes my I140, will the new H1 still be valid and can I continue with my Green card process ?
  
• Do employers usually revoke I-140 and how much time would I have if my employer decides to revoke it ?
  
• Is it more safe to first get my H1 extension with my current employer (probably 3 years) and then take the full time offer ?
  
• In future, if I am laid off by my client, Can I apply another H1 and start my green card process again ?
  

Thank you for reading this post and for your responses.

First have the client file a H1 in PP and get it approved. If that is 3 years subsequent revocation of the I-140 should not impact you and you have 3 years for any subsequent Immigration Petition and you retain the PD irrespective. Always keep a Lawyer on board till you get the GC. It is false economy to try and save money this way.
