I-140 approved, 3yr H1B ext in process - Question on Transferring Employers

Hi

My husband is on an H1B visa that expires Jan 2007. His current employer is sponsoring him for GC under EB3 - he has I-140 approval, but cannot apply for I-485 due to retrogression.

His employer has also filed for 3 yr extension of H1B under premium processing. My question is, once he gets this visa, can he transfer to a new employer and transfer the H1B, or does the 3 year extension only apply to the current employer?

We don't have to worry about the new employer sponsoring for a GC, since my employer is sponsoring me under EB2 (and I am in the worldwide category which is current) and PERM, so I should hopefully get my GC in a year or so, so as long as he can work on the extended H1, we should be ok.

Can anyone advise please? Thanks!!!
 
Same situation except.............

Hi Schnooz,
Lucky your Husband.
I am in same situation as his- that is I am eB2 and i140 approved. My h1 expiring december and applied for 3 year extension. Want to change company after I get extension and stamping done. So if you get to hear any reply please let me know too.

Except that I dont have a wife - that can file for EB2 in ROW category. :p Hey I am open if you know someone of your status (minus married! ). :D
