Hi Gurus,

I am in a weird situation. Company A filed Labor back in Aug '03 in TR. I am on 9th year H1 extension. I changed my job to Company B in Jan '07. Company A promised to continue my GC Process.

Using the already filed Labor (by Comany A) which is pending with BRC, Company B filed my H1 extension and I got approved.

Company B filed PERM last month and it got approved. I am preparing to file I-140 and I-485 some time next week. I am also applying another H1 extension with Company B which is expiring in Jan '08.

I got letter from BRC yesterday asking about Newspaper ad to be started by next week, this is for the BRC pending case with Company A.

My questions are.

1. Do I need to continue the process with Company A?
2. If I don't continue the process with Company A, what will happen to my H1 extension?
3. Is there any scenario which will jeopardise the processing with Company B?

Thank You in advance for any input.

1. Do I need to continue the process with Company A?
longgcwisher, this is certainly your choice. If you continue with Company A process, you will maintain the Aug, 03 priority date. However, if you opt to go with Company B and file I-140 / I - 485, your application will be processed with Jan 07 priority date.

Remember, even if you could apply both applications concurrently, you may still not get the visa number for another 2 - 3 years (or may be more) till Jan 07 becomes currrent.

If I were in your position, and if my earlier company was willing to continue the process, I would go ahead and provide the required information, no matter at what stage company B procedure is. Backlogs will be eliminated by Sept 07 and I believe being a 03 filing, I would still be able to file and get GC earlier than the Company B process.


2. If I don't continue the process with Company A, what will happen to my H1 extension?
I am not sure about this, but I think you may face trouble extending your H1.

3. Is there any scenario which will jeopardise the processing with Company B?
I do not believe anything will jeopardise your processing with Company B. GC is always for future employment, so the main point should be to maintain H1 status.
