Change in Employer after I-140 is Approved

[goodluck24]

Hello,

I am currently on H1-B visa with company "A" and on the 6th year of my visa period. My H1-B expires on Aug 31st 2011.

Currrently my Labor got approved (approved on 7th Jan 2011) and applied for I-140 last week under premium processing through company "A".

Questions.

1. Can I change to company "B" after my I-140 is approved through company "A"?

2. Can I get the visa extension through the company "B" (3 year extension).

3. Or should I get extension from the company "A" and get transfer to the company "B"

Please help me.

I am in the same position, this seems like a pretty common scenario. I am currently in 7th year H1B valid till 9/30/2011, my I-140 is approved and I want to change jobs to company B.

a) is it possible to file a 3-year H1 extension thru company B (even though Labor/140 approval is thru current company A).

b) is it safer to get the H1 extension from the company "A" and then get the H1 transfer to the company "B"?

I am not lawyer but what i heard from other is that once your 140 is approved you can always extend your h1b after six year with any company, but your need to start the GC process again.
