you can
transfer h1 to diff company, but since 485 wasn't filed, you will have to start new GC process. You can probably port your PD though.

same situation
Hi everyone,
I'm also in the same situation as desigc78. I'm with a big firm and will be laid off in July. My 6th year H1 will expire on Dec 31, 2009. But my LC & I-140 are already approved thru my current employer just waiting for I-485 dates.
My questions are:
1) Can I transfer my H1b to another employer and still get a 3 year approval based on my I140 approval?
2) Can I retain my priority dates once file LC/140 again with my new employer?
3) Can my current employer revoke my 140? If so, does it adversely impact my H1b or retaining my PD with my new employer?
4) Do I need to have a copy of my 140 approval for H1b transfer & 3 year extension?
5) If I can't get a copy of 140 then what will be my options? go back to my country?
Your replies are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

I-140 approved/H1-8th year/change of employer
All,
im already in my 8th year of H1B extension (1yr/extension) which expires August 2009. i have my I-140 approved and my current employer is preparing to file for my 3 yr extension. i have not filed for I-485 yet (PD aug 2004). my current employer has filed for EB2 labor to convert my EB3 filing.
Meanwhile there are layoffs and there is a good chance i will be affected in a week or 2. so
1) if i can find a new employer can i trasnfer my H1B?
2) if i can is there any way i can get an extension beyond August 2009 so that my GC process can start all over again?
please help
since i cant move out of U.S because of some family health reasons
thanks
