H1B Transfer after 7th Yr Extension with I-140 approved?
Hi All,
Need your advice in possibility of H1B transfer after 7th year extension. With my current employer A, my GC (EB3) is in process and I-140 is approved. Based upon that, my H1B is extended for 3 years which is valid till Dec-2012 (around 17 months left). Another employer B is ready to transfer my H1B and apply the GC in EB2. My question is:
1) Is it possible to transfer the H1B after 7th year extension based upon current employer I-140 approval (for which I have the receipt number, but not the copy)? And can employer B also apply GC parallely
2) If it is possible to transfer H1B, then can I wait for 6-8 months to join company B after H1B transfer? This is just to ensure the active status of employer A I-140 so that employer B can request the earlier priority date and smooth H1B transfer.
Appreciate your feedback in this.
Thanks,
Ravu
