Hi,
I would appreciate any feedback/response reg. changing jobs when in 7th yr H1 with
I-140 pending from employer different than the one who sponsered for H1 :
Background
---------------------
Current status = H1 from Co. A ; entered 7th yr H1 this year from current employer Co. A (based on original LC filed in 2003 by Co. A).
Also, another company Co. B filed I-140 based on substituted LC (and I-1485 also; both filed
before 7th yr H1 term began) this year.
Question
----------------
If I switch job in my 7th yr, and get H1 transferred to the new employer, then
how do I get 8th yr extension ?
Assume
a) I-140 /I-485 from Co. B (thru substituted labor) are still pending
b) Co. A that filed original LC in 2003 withdraws application.
Do it matter whether the new employer (where I switch job in my 7th yr) is Co. B (my future employer) ??
Basically,
- can substituted LC or pending I-140 be used for 8th yr or future extensions ?
- if I-140 gets approved, then will I still need 8th yr extension ?
- if I-140 is not approved and pending, then using EAD is the only option to continue my stay
in US , is it correct ?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance for your time. Appreciate it.
