H1B Transfer -- Extension Range

[MrNRI]

Hi

 

I am working for employer A, was on L1B and I140 approved, last year October moved to H1B.

 

My 6 years will be complete by April 2016. I have H1B approval and visa stamped till February 2017 based on approved I140.

 

If I move to employer B next month my current emp A will revoke the I 140 in 90 days.

 

 

Question:

 

1) When employer B files a H1B petition in June 2015 based on approved I140, till what date I might get the extension?

 

2) Will I get 3 yr extension based on approved 140 for new petition?

 

3) will the 3 yr extension be considered based on new petition file date or I will just get till February 2017 which I have currently?

 

 

I wanted to check if I have enough time with new employer to file for GC case after I switch next month and if there is enough time to file or get I-140  approved.

 

 

 

Thank You

Company B can get 3 years of H1B time if you have an approved I-140 and non-current priority date at the time Company B's H1B petition is adjudicated by USCIS.  It may be a good idea to have the H1B petition filed via Premium Processing and wait until it is approved before moving.  Something else to think about is whether Company B is willing to start your GC process relatively soon so you can extend H1B status again 3 years from now...

Thank you for your inputs

Another question I had is

If new emp B files H1B and I get 3 yr extension and emp A revokes I-140 in 90 days.

What will be my status after April 2016 I.e. Completion of my 6 yrs? Since I-140 is revoked.

Can I continue to work for emp B or I have go out of country for one year and come back ?
