Hi All,
My H1-b visa expires 08/2007 (6th year). My labor certification (PERM EB-3) was approved 3 weeks ago, and my lawyer is going to submit the I-140 soon. Assuming the I-140 is approved before 08/2007, my lawyer will extend my H1-B for another 3 years. If the H1-B is extended another 3 years, am I allowed to switch to a different job which hopefully the new company can file PERM EB-2 so that I dont have to wait for years to file I-485 under my existing company (eb-3)? Please advise.
