I am in a lot of stress. Please help out if possible.
Six years on my H1B expire in April 2008. I just got laid off from company A. My last day of work will be May 31st. I have LC and I-140 approved with company A.
If I join company B starting June, can B extend my H1B based on the approved I-140 I had with company A?
My lawyer is saying that B can't extend my H1B based on I-140 with A. And A can't extend it as the earliest it can file for the extension is six months before expiry and that is in October. He is saying that my only option is to find another job within A if possible. Otherwise, it is back to India.
Is he right? What are my options?
I will be grateful for any replies.
