[parkerjohn03]

Hi All,

 

My current empoyer 'A' has filled PERM & I 140. I 140 has approved with company A. My furtuer employer company B is interested to Hire me and will file GC.

 

QUE: Can company B start PERM filing before Hiring and once PERM get approve with company B, Company B file for H1B trasfer ?

 

Thanks in advance ....

Yes, company B can initiate your GC process. If you have completed 6 years of stay on H1B then company B can file for H1B extensions only based on your PERM or I-140 pending for 365 days or approved I-140.

Can I use old priority date if it becomes current ( filed with company A) ?

Can company B use old priority date even if new PERM & new I-140 doesn't approve with company B ?

Yes, you can use old priority date.

Thank you for reply ! Just want to elaborate my previous question...

 

I have completed my 4 years on H1B. I have approved PERM and i -140 with Company A priority date Nov 2012.  Current priority date is Jan 22 2009. Let say company B  is hiring me now and  they will start my new Perm in May 2015.  During this one or 1 & half year, if suppose forward movement of EB2 become current date ( my is Nov 2012), so in this case,

 

1) Can company B use my old priority date ?

 

2) If not, Can company B file my H1B extension evenif Perm and I-140 is not approved with Company B YET.  ?

 

Thanks in advance.....
