H1B extension on approved I140 and in India for 2 year

[murthy_seeker]

Hi Experts

I am trying to get some information on work permit. I looked into current forum but did not find any information so that why I am posting this question.

 

I worked in US for 6 year 2007 -2013 and moved to India in 2013 due to family reason and working for same employer in India now. But before moving to India my employer filed H1b extension based on approved I140 and I got H1b extension for 3 year 2013-2016.  Now I want to move back to US but employer in US does not have any open position so I want to try in some other employer based on H1B extension.  

I have question

1. Can I check if my H1b extension is still valid, is there any government website to verify H1B extension validity.
2. Can I utilize the approved H1b extension for transfer and work for other employer.
3. Can new employer file cap exempt H1b for next 3 year or do I need to wait for quota to be available.
4. My Priority date is current so can new employer file H1B extension.

 

Please share any information you have on my current issue.

 

Thanks in Advance

Who filed your I94? Is that job available?

Sorry, I meant I-140.

yes, my I140 is still available and is valid and I have the application and receipt no for I140.

Yes, the employer who filed my I140 is my current employer but does not have open position in US. the employer has not withdrawn my I140 application.

You should be eligible for H1 extensions with any employer. It would be helpful to discuss specifics with a Lawyer.
