can i140 from old employer be used for H1 extension by new employer

[jvj2010]

hi, I have an approved i140 from my old company in 2014.

I moved to full time to a new company but my 6 year H1 is expiring in october.

Can my new company use the i140 from the old company assuming its not revoked to file H1extension 

Please reply

thanks.

Filing GC application by employer means, employer offering permanent employment to you. 

 

Once you leave that employer its not valid and other employers nothing to do with it.

 

Only thing you can do is you can port it with your old I-140 receipt number

 

and keep the priority date same when your new employer file labor petition & I-140 for you.

 

Normally labor should be filed 1 year before the H1 petition going to expire.(Not sure in your case)
