Hi All,
Please advice. My situation is as follows.
- My H1-B 6th year is expiring 3/30/2008 (exactly one year left from today)
- I have Labor and I-140 approved from my current employer in EB3 (Worldwide category). Priority date December 2005.
- I am planning to change job. My new employer will file Labor in EB2. It will file in about May/June 2007 , I guess.
- If everything goes well, I will have approved labor and I-140 before my H1b expiration. I should also have I-185 pending by that time since EB2 worldwide is not retrogressed.
Questions:
1. Because EB2 (Worldwide) is not retrogressed, after I-140 approval, will I be able to extend my H1B ? I will have I-185 pending by that time.
2. If I-140 does not get approved before h1 expiration, will I be able to extend my H1?
3. Because I already have approved Labor and I-140 from my current employer, will that help in any way for H1 extension?
4. Should I be changing the employer while on the 6th year on my H1? What are the different ways the H1 can be extended if I change the employer in the sixth year? EB2 is not retrogressed in the worldwide category.
I appreciate your help. Thanks a lot
