Dear Rajivji;

First of all wish you a very Hale & Hearty condition to you & your staff.

My case is as under:

My priority date is Nov 2010. I- 140 got approved in June 2011. I have got H1 B extension of 5 times. The current H1 B is expiring on Sept 30,2021. Last year We went to India and got it stamped at Mumbai USA Consulate. I am with same employer since with my first H1 B approved 2006. Now my employer suggesting to reduce my hours/pay cuts due to Corona Virus.The pay cut suggesting is around 50 % .
With that pay cut I will not be able to survive. My Questions to you are as follows :
1) Does this will affect my Visa Status? or GC Application in future ?.
2) Can I look around for New Employer and get a Transfer to my new employer . In such a scenario , DO I HAVE TO APPLY FOR NEW I-140 ? My current title is Operation Research Analyst , do I have to get same type of Job or I can do other kind of Job. I am an MBA from University of Connecticut and got my H1 B approved under Student Quota of 20,000 .

3) I have reached the age of 65 and eligible for Social Security benefits ( completed more then 40 Quarters ) . Does this will affect my GC application or HI B Transfer ?

Regards

JD
