Hi !
I have I-140 approved with PD of Aug-2007. I-485 is not yet applied. My 6 years on H1b are over. I got 3 more years of extension till 2011 on H1B based on I-140. I have also got the extended H1b (till 2011) stamped on my passport. Now I am looking to change my company before lay offs happen.
What are my options :
1. Can the new company transfer my H1B and I-140 ?
2. If they can just transfer my H1B, what happens to my PD of I-140 ? And what I may need to provide or tell the new company in case of transfer ?
3. How many years of maximum extension should I expect from the new company on H1B ?
4. Do the new company has to start GC processing ASAP ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
