H1-B Extension with I-140 Approval after 6 yrs.

Recommended Posts

I am currently on my 7th yr H1 working for Emp A with I-140 Approved. I got a job offer from company B who is willing to transfer my H1 but won't process GC. I know I will get 3 yrs extn based on I-140 approval. My Current company A is willing to keep my I-140 active.

What happens after 3 yrs from now when I am ready for H1-B extension with Company B or H1-B transfer to Company C. Will I get unlimited H1-B 3 yr Extenstions based on my I-140 Approval or 3-yr extn is only one time from Company A to B.

Please clarify.

Generally, an approved I-140 petition filed on an individual’s behalf allows the individual to extend their H-1B status beyond the normal six year limitation in three year increments without limitation as to the number of extensions that can be filed. However, there are complexities in the law that may or may not apply to your specific circumstances. Therefore you should consult a qualified U.S. immigration attorney directly to address the nuances of your situation and the related law.
