Transferring to new Employer on H1B with I-140 approval

[ggn979]

Hi,

 I am on H-1B and have I-140 approval. My Client offering a full time position. I am little nervous to accept the new offer.

 

1. Because I am not sure that Revocation of I-140 approval by current employer is possible or not? I know there is proposal for that. But not sure it is implemented yet. Is this implemented?

 

2. What are things I should have to consider when I change my employer. Because this is my first employer in US I am changing after working for 7 years.

 

Thanks

As of now with your current I140 approval you can get 3 years with H1b transfer. After that you need to start GC process again ASAP. 

Your current employer can revoke I140. But if your new employer will start GC processing i don't see any problem here.

AFAIK, you are safe to transfer to new employer. The only case you will lose I140 or priority date is if you application is cancelled due to fraud. 

I recommend to discuss with your new employer immigration lawyer.

I did talk about this issue in brief with one of the lawyers and she said what NP2020 said.
