Please advise

Hi,
My H1B 6 years will be finished in February. 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

File for EAD and once you get it, you may continue work after H-1B expiry. Your legal status would be AOS pending. Have the address on your applications changed by calling USCIS or updating online.

- 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?

Only if LC was filed 365 prior to H-1B expiry date (assuming your I-140 is still pending). You can always move to a new location with this employer. A new H-1B is not needed, just a new labor condition application for the new labor market needs to be filed prior to your move if your job profile does not change by > 50% at the new location.
