Company acquisition while I-140 is pending

[appidisr]

Hello Guru's need your help in figuring out solution.

 

 

Case:

 

I am working for 'A' company since last 4 years on H1 B visa,  Company 'A' was acquired by company 'B' today (April 2015). My employer (Company 'A') started my perm processing in 2014. My labor is approved, I-140 is pending. The acquisition type is through stock purchase, earlier we were a small company but with this acquisition we are going from million to billion dollar company. Now parent company (Company 'B') said that all operations will run as normal, that means no change in my job duties and compensation, company name (Company 'A') will remain same and will run just like before but under new ownership. 

 

Questions:

 

1. How will this effect my H1 B status, will my employer have to file H1 B transfer?

 

2. Since I'm in the middle of perm process, I-140 is pending, if approved is this a valid I-140 or do I have to file I-140 again or amendment of I-140 is suffice?

 

3. If I-140 is not valid then at least is labor valid?
