FAQ: Changing jobs after I 140 approval, returning to the old job, etc.
Sir,
I am on H1B visa in US from 2008 with employer A, and i have I-140 approved in 2011 from Employer A,
Now in 2017 i am planning to change my employer to Employer B.
My question:
Scenario 1 : If say Employer B doesn't sponsor/start my GC/I-140 in 3 years, can i employer B use Employer A's I-140 to renew n number of times ?
Scenario 2: If i didn't like employer B in future and they have not sponsored or started my GC/I-140, can i switch to Employer C ,using Employer A's I-140.
Scenario 3:If i didn't like employer B in future and they have not sponsored or started my GC/I-140, then i switch to Employer A ,using Employer A's I-140 .. now do employer A again has to restart GC/I-140 ?.
Scenario 4: How much of over lap of dates of employment can happen b/w Employer A and Employer B.
Thank you very much for your help and community service.
Regards
Hello Sir,
I am on my 7th Year of H1-B and my I-140 has been approved in Feb 2017. It is currently in approved status with 180 days passed with Employer A. Now i would like to move to Employer B with this approved I-140. After i move out Employer A would anyway revoke/withdraw my approved I-140 by sending notice to USCIS. Now my questions are:
1. Will my I-140 be in approved status even though Employer A has revoked/withdrawn approved I-140 as per the Final Rule?
2. Can the new Employer B transfer my H1-B and apply for H1-B extension when Employer A has revoked/Withdrawn my approved I-140?
3. If answer to Questions 1 and 2 is Yes, then should Employer B immediately file for my GC paper work (PERM+ I-140) for my further H1-B extensions or can the I-140 from Employer A which would still remain in Approved State (even though employer revoked/withdrawn after 180 days of approval per final rule but not USCIS) can be used for multiple H1-B extensions?
4. At what point of time should Employer B start my GC paperwork if the approved I-140 from Previous employer is revoked/Withdrawn? Is it at the time of filing I-485?
5. Now with approved I-140 from Employer A (even though revoked/withdrawn by Employer after 180 days of approval) and without Employer B not starting GC process immediately but only does H1-B extensions till my priority date becomes current can my Spouse work on H4-EAD?
Sorry to ask too many questions. It would be grateful if you these questions can be answered so i can get some insight.
Thank you!
