Hi nashot99,

You mentioned on Feb. 2nd that you were filing for the labor certification. I read from the other forums that the new way of filing LC only takes less than a month to get approved.
How is your LC application doing?
Did you file it under EB2 category?
If it is already approved, have you concurrently filed the I-140 and I-485?
When your new employer transferred your H1B visa, how long did it take get the approval?
Please answer as soon as possible, pleaseeeeeeeeeee...

Thanks,
batang_tx

Also nashot99: were you able to transfer the old PD to the new I-140 (if infact you have reached that far?)
thanks.

Hello,

I got 140 approval and if I resign from the current company. New company will start my GC processing.

Current company is big corporation and may not revoke but might use for somebody else if it can be used.

Can company use my labor after 140 approval for somebody else?

Please share ur experience....

Actually there are couple of points
1. Immigration personnel of both the old and new companies are usually ignorant of this .. so dont go by what they say.
2. Attorneys of the old company will surely be mum since they are with their parent company.

So as long as I-140 is approved and you have the case number, you can change jobs, which i am also planning. I have found out that the risk of I-140 being cancelled is low, and even if it is cancelled, you have the PD, since unless the cancellation is on Fraud or misrepresentation you will have the ability to port PD.

The general term used here is porting PD, and it is no where related to the AC21 portablity. The only thing is that in this case your new company has to go through the LC and I-140 again and it does not have to be the same classification etc.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

My i140 just got approved from my current employer and my current 6yr H1B visa expires in Dec 2010. I got an offer from a major IT company and am very interested in it.

My question is, can I have my new employer transfer my visa NOW from current employer and apply for a 3 yr extension based on my approved i-140 from current employer? Or should I have my current employer file for extension and then transfer it to the new employer?

My ideal scenario is the 1st one but I am not sure if there is any risk associated with it.

Experts .... Please help!!
