Hi,
I have two questions and need your expert advice. I am currently working on H1B visa (6th year) which will expire on 05/31/09.
1) My I-140 petition is pending at TSC since 07/08. It was filed in EB1 catagory (outstanding professor) by my present employer (University). I have a job offer from another University. Somebody told me that i am eligible to port the I-140 petition to new employer because my I-140 has been pending decision for more than 180 days.
2) Also, because my I-140 petition has been pending for more than 365 days,
am i eligible to apply for yearly extensions of H-1B beyond sixth year (but not to exceed nine years.)
thank you for your suggestions and advice.
