H1 transfer after 140 approval

[houstonian]

Hi,

I have my 140 approved with company A and my first 6 year term expires in Oct 2013. If I move to a new company now, will my H1 be approved for 3 more years since I have my 140 approved.

Thanks!

Generally, a new company can utilize the approved I-140 petition by a different company as the basis for a request for a 3 year H1B extension on behalf of a new employee. Please schedule a consultation with a qualified immigration attorney to discuss the specific facts relating to your case and to determine whether the I-140 petition may be used in your case.
