Hi ,
I filed my I-485 and EAD in July and after 1 month of filing I am laid off by my company . My I-140 is already approved (non-concurrent filing) and my employer is not revoking it.
1) My H1 is expiring in Dec 2003. What is the best approach - should I go for H1 transfer with a new company or wait to get EAD card ? One company said that if I did H1-B transfer then it will invalidate EAD and entire GC process. Is this true?
Also can I now get a 7th yr H1 extension based on previous company's LC approval ?
2) Will the geographic location of new employer matter?
3) Will the salary change matter ?
4) Can I switch to a new employer now or shud I wait for 6 months to join so that the start date is after 180 days ? Pls advise.
I will appreciate if anyone can pls. reply.
thanks-neha
