Hi,
My 6th year on H1B expires in March 2009.
My labor and I140 was approved with company A.
I was subsequently laid off in Oct 2008 and filed for H4 COS which has been approved.
Now I have a new job offer with company B and would like to use my labor and I140 approved to get a 3 year H1B extension and work beyond April 2009.
My question:
1) Does the title, job description of new job with employer B have to be the same to job A for my H1B to be extended beyond 6 years ?
I understand I will have file new labor and I140 in due time through employer B.
2) Can I use the same priority date if the job title and job description in approved labor(PERM) with employer A differ from the new title/description with company B.
