Hi.
I work at a company with on my H1-B and have filed for a 3 year extension in January 07. I have about 1.5 years remaining on my H1-B (excluding 1 year I spent on H4 in 02-03). In April 07 I received an RFE for my H1 extension and the response was filed about 1 week ago and the extension is still pending. My current company will be filing for premium processing on my I-140 in the next couple of weeks.
As a side, I have an offer from another company, where I do want to move and who are willing to transfer my H1-B. Would any of you have any insight into if there could be issues with the H1-B renewal if I change jobs at this point while my H1 B is pending extension? And if approved, are they likely to grant an H1-B for just a few months or so? The new company is willing to file a new GC application for me but probably, not immediately.
Any input is much appreciated. Thank you.
