Hi
I was laid off on Friday by my employer. I had recently received my I-140 approval and I am currently in the last year of my H1 B visa, i.e. in Dec 2010 my H1 B is going to expire.
I will be on the company's payroll until the end of April 2010 and then my severance package would start. I believe until April 2010 i will be on H1 B status.
Please help me in understanding the following
1) Would any company be willing to sponsor my H1 B as i am in the last year of H1 B?
2) Would I be able to transfer my I-140? I believe the company which is going to do my H1 B transfer will have to file for my GC and i need to clear my Labour only then the I-140 priority date with prior employer can be transferred to the new one. I think i do not have that much time as i have only 8 months left on H1 B.
3) Would i be eligible for H1 B 3 year extension, as my I-140 has been approved recently? If yes, who needs to apply for my extension?
Any suggestions as well are welcome. Kindly respond to my questions.
Regards
Dinesh
