Hi
Has anyone in this forum had their H1 revalidated successfully while their I-485 petition is pending?
My case is a little different.
I am currently working for company Y. Previously I had worked for company X for around 2 years (1999-2001).
While at company X, I had my I-140 approved but had to change jobs to my current employer (company Y) due to some reasons and started afresh with Labor. But my GC ran into issues due to the layoffs
with much difficulty, I managed to file for I-485 in november using a private lawyer, based on future employment offer letter from my previous employer (Company X). I am yet to receive my EAD.

Given the above circumstances, would it be advisable to send for revalidation to St.Louis for my H1 thru my current employer (Company Y) ? One of the questions asked in DS-156 is "Has Anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf". I believe that filing of I-140 itself qualifies as an immigrant petiiton.


Any suggestions would be appreiated.

Thanks
 
If I were you, I would send H1 for revalidation provided there are no other issues with H1 beside someone applied for immigrant petition.
