Change Jobs: I-140 Approved: 6th year

[manjusha78]

Hello:

Currently on 6th year of H1B – expires Sep 2013. My I-140 with current employer(A) got approved in Dec 2012.

Have got a better offer from another employer(B).

1. If I join employer(B) will my H1B get extended for 3 years based on my existing I-140 status?

2. If current employer(A) revokes my I-140 after I join employer B, will my H1B get affected?

3. When does the new employer(B) need to file my labor?

Thanks in advance

Generally, an employer can seek extensions beyond the sixth year for an employee who is the beneficiary of a PERM filed more than a year before the end of the employee's sixth year in H-1B status or is the beneficiary of an approved I-140 in a backlogged immigrant category. Extensions beyond the sixth year are not permissible if an I-140 is revoked. Generally, it is prudent to pursue a green card application with an employer with whom one has the intention to work full time in a full time permanent job opportunity as soon as permissible and possible.
