H1 6 years expiring

[vastav.su]

Hi,

My H1 is expiring Jan'2011 with company A and company A has not filed my labor yet due to economic slow down and other reasons.

Since, I'm not sure, if they will file my labor, I applied for h1 transfer in aug 2008 to company B but have not started working to company B.

I'm still working for company A, now that company B is willing to file my labor & 140 asap.

I'm concerned that now If I move to company B and continue my labor filing would that be a concern in getting my labor and h1 extension.

Any suggestions or information will be helpful.

Regards,

It is unlikely that the process could be completed in time for qualification for extension. It is also unlikely that your new position would qualify due to the number of unemployed professionals in the US at this time. Your current employer is being honest with you and there is nothing a new employer can do to change the US economic/employment situation.

The fact that you have had a petition with B for over a year and have not made the move is also suspicious. If they were willing to file for you and are a decent employer, why have you not moved yet?
