Hi,
I lost my job in a recent wave of layoffs at my company.
My Green Card was in process at the time of termination (Priority date: June 2012) and I-140 was approved. The H-1B with the previous company was valid until 2017.
I understand that in order to maintain H-1 status, my next employer has to file a new H-1B for me. How will this impact my Green Card processing that was underway? Will my previous company revoke the approved I-140? What does this do to my priority date - Will the PD be retained? Does the GC application process get reset - i.e. new employer has to refile PERM?
Thanks,
