Hi,
My details are as follows:
My 6yrs on H1-B are getting over in Sep-2012. I have I-140 approved under EB-2 and my employer has filed for H1-B extension. The extension has been filed under normal processing which is taking around 3 to 4 months (as per my employer's law firm...official time mentioned on USCIS website is 2 months). So, according to that, the extension should come by Nov-2012. My question is -
* Can I change my employer now?
* Can the new employer file a new H1-B extension based on the approved I-140? OR
do I first need the extended H1-B from my current employer and change employer after that only?
* If not employer, can I switch roles to a different entity but with the same parent employer?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
