Part of company A merged with Company B with the new Combined company\'s name being "B". Job remained exactly same. Company A sponsored H1B, Labor, I-140. Merger took place when I-140 was pending. Now can Company B would files I-485. What amendments need to be done here.

Thanks

I went thru the same situation. Merger took place when I-140 is pending. My company lawyer filed I-485 with the company name B and then filed amended I-140, after filing I-485. The lawyer also stated in the letter along with I-485 that this is a successor of interest case.I also had to re-applied a new H1-B with a new company name. I am not sure re-applying H1-B is a necessary thing or not but I decided to use H1-B instead of using my EAD when waiting for I-485.

I-485 is pending now and R/D is 08/2000.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, very much for that info.
Lawyer of Company B do not think H1B need to be amended, they have only talked about the necessity of I-140 Amendments.
However, in case of coming back from travelling overseas and before parole being authorized, what will happen, Any comment is appreciated.

Thanks

The H1-B needs amending to the new company name, if you don\'t have advance parole. If the Imm.Officer does not bother to check the employer chnage you get off easy at the entry port. But what if he decides to check? Not worth it.

Tell your lawyers that you need Ad.Parole or an amended visa with new company name.
