Hi,

I have my I-140 approved and on my H1B extension ( 3 year extension) which will expire in 07/2014. I am now trying to change jobs. One of the questions I have is, will the new company be able to file for a full 3 year extension from today ( i.e. from 10/2013 to 10/2016 )  or will it only be able to do it only till 10/2013 to 07/2014.

 

Can any of the experts please help clarify.

Thanks

Balaji

Yes. They can extend to full term (3 Year) during H1 transfer, provided if the employer provides all the required documents.
