H1b Transfer with I-140 Approved

[nb1979]

I am currently on H1b visa through my current employer (“employer A”), which is valid until May 2016. I have an approved I- 140 through employer A. I would be completing 9 years on my H1b visa. Early next year employer A would file for an H1b extension for another 3 years.

 

I would like to know if I switch my job before my H1b expires in May 2016

 

1. Whether my new H1b through (“employer B” ) would be valid for 3 years based on my existing I-140 through employer A? Or will it only be valid until May 2016?

1. If at the time of H1B petition adjudication I140 is valid you will get 3 years. Otherwise till May 2016.
