Hi,
My H1B 6 years will be finished in February 2008. My I140/485 were filed in August and I will be laid off on December 31. What options do I have now?

- My employer had filed my immigration papers at my current work location. They are willing to relocate me to different location but are not sure on the impact of change in address. Can I relocate with my current 140/485 filed for current address?

- Can my H1 be extended based on approved labor? I can then move to new location with same employer on renewed H1B and start the entire process again?

Thanks

Hi,
My H1B 6 years will be finished in February 2008.
My I140/485 were filed in August and I will be laid off on December 31.

What options do I have now?
-------------------------file H1 transfer through new employer and you are eligible to get H1 extensions. H1 transfer/extension need to be filed Before your I-94 gets expired
- My employer had filed my immigration papers at my current work location. They are willing to relocate me to different location but are not sure on the impact of change in address. Can I relocate with my current 140/485 filed for current address?
------------- I-140 and LC were only filed by employer. I-485 belong to you and if you move then update the USCIS your New address and also file form AR11. you can relocate
- Can my H1 be extended based on approved labor?
----------------YES on the base of approved I-140 and pending I-485
I can then move to new location with same employer on renewed H1B
----------------------YES, your employer need new LCA for new location(dont mix LC with LCA)
and start the entire process again?
-------------why?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Can I extend my H1 from new employer in Feb '08? I believe labor has to be pending for an year from the same employer inorder to extend H1. Please confirm
