Hello Mr.Rajiv,
Thank you for having this Tele Conference for many Immigrants to help us with answers to our questions. My questions are around GC I-140 processing, H1-B , H4 EAD and H1 B Visa Stamping.
1) I have my GC I-140 Approved from Employer (A) and planning to move to Employer (B) , my current employer will request USCIS for revocation of my I-140 as i resigned and moved to another Company. Now in this case can i retain my Priority Date even though my previous I-140 was revoked
2) I have been working in USA for 6+ years for same Employer (A) since day 1 , but i worked under
L1B Visa ( 4.5 years) + H1-B Visa (2 years). As mentioned in Question #1, would i be able to get my H1 B extension / transfer from Employer (B) before my I-140 revokes. The reason i am asking this question is i am already in my 7th year , want to carefully understand the process of getting H1B Transfer / Extension (or Change of Status) my previous Employers I-140 (before its revoked) . Do you foresee any issue with this ?
3) If Question #1 is possible, Would i be eligible to request for H4 EAD for my spouse under AC21 Eligibility , as soon i join Employer (B) and before my new I-140 gets approved.
4) I would like to get your opinion on H1 and H4 Visa Stamping. I got Visa Extension from my current Employer (A) till 2019 , What happens if i move to (B) with out Visa Stamping i.e. if i have to go for an emergency Vacation to India , .. before i get my new I-140 approved from (B), would i be able to get my Visa Stamped with out any issues ?
5) Similar question as #4 but If i get my Visa stamped while working with (A) , would i be able to travel out of country under any emergency .. until visa stamped date or until my Visa extended date ? or any dependencies on I-140 ?
Note: I am asking these questions under the assumption that My new Employer (B) initiates my GC processing as soon as i join the company and try to get my I-140 approved in my 1st year.
Thanks and Regards,
K
