I am past my 6 year limit on H1 visa. My current visa expires in Feb'08. I have approved I-140. I am planning to change employer. My question is :

Can new employer use my approved I-140 and get three year extension or should I get H1 extension with current employer and then do the transfer ?

Thanks for your response !

Either way - please make sure that your current employer does not revokes the I-140, this will preserve your priority date. also you will get 3 more years if your PD is retrogressed.
 
Someone asked this same question to Rajiv. Rajiv's response was to get a 3 year extension and then change jobs. Do not take the risk of leaving job before an extension. If your I-140 is revoked, you will be out of status. Hope this helps.
