H1 Transfer with I -140 Approval and with 3rd H1 visa

[KewlKumar]

Hi All,

I have been in USA for almost 8 years and right now using 3rd H1 Renewal visa with approved I-140 and I am planning to change the company now, Let me know if I can change the company with the current H1 and can i use the approved I 140 for the next renewal?

My current H1 is expiring on end of 2013.

Looking forward to hear for the available options for my situation.

Kumar.

USCIS permits an individual to seek extensions beyond the sixth year in H1B classification with an employer other than the employer who filed an approved I-140 petition in a backlogged employment based immigrant category assuming the I-140 petition remains approved and valid.
