QUESTION :: First and foremost - can I change my job as I am entering the 6th year of H1?
ANSWER :: Yes you can. Just have to be bit careful. The new company should first apply H1 for 3 years based your current approved I-140. Then start the new GC process with a request to transfer the priority date. It is best not to join the new company till the H1 and the new I-140 gets approved, in this way if some thing goes wrong, you have your current company to fall back.
2.
QUESTION :: Since it's going to be my 6th year, will I need to reapply for labor as soon as I change my job? Is there any timeframe?
ANSWER :: Yes, you need to reapply the LC. Though there is no time frame, you need to apply 365 days before your new H1 expires, so that you could get H1 extensions in the future.
Please note if you have an approved I-140, then you get 3 years extension. If your current I-140 is revoked then in the future you need a new GC process pending for at least 365 days to request H1 1 year Extension. Again if the future company’s I-140 is approved then based on that you could request 3 years H1 Extention.
3.
QUESTION :: Will there be any issue porting the Priority Date - especially since I am planning to apply on EB2 in the next job.
ANSWER :: There will not be an issue to transfer your current priority date (EB3) to the new GC process in EB2, just because it is EB3 to EB2.

Now that you have left your abusive employer, would you mind disclosing your ex-employer information?
Friend, this issue is not only with my ex employer. As far I know most of the major consulting companies based in my native country who bring in L1s do the same stuff as the creator of this thread had reported.
I was with one of the major consulting companies from my native country.

What if 6 months are left before my 6 years of H1B expires? Can I still get 3 years extension based on approved I-140 from another company?
I think you can get the extension with new company too. While applying for the transfer request extension upto Feb 2010. You might have to provide the I140 approval again to prove that you are eligible for 3-year extension.
I think you can join the company immediately. To be in safe side you can apply for transfer in premium.
As you might be aware there is no such thing as H1B transfer - every h1b application is a new one for that company and you as beneficeiry. So when applying for H1B with new company - you have to provide evidence that you are eligible for the H1B. The evidence is to show you are already on H1B (so that you are not subject to annual cap); and that you have enough time on H1B if you already completed 6 years then evidence to prove that you are eligible for further extension of h1b. So in short yes you can get 3 years with new employer. (NOTE: I am not lawyer this is my understanding based on various sources; I am also considering moving after my i140 is approved).

when u file for the new 140..u are supposed to send in theold approved 140 and request for porting.. thats how my attorney did..
finally i got the 140 from my employer..and my date was ported successfully..so its all good.
Happy to know that you got your I-140 approved with old priority date. Is there any link or formal document which suggest that we can file new I-140 along with a copy of old I-140 to retain older priority date. My attorney doesn't agree to this, he says that we need to get the new I-140 approved first and than file for porting the date seperately. If there is any link or document which can suggest that we can file new I-140 with copy of older approved I-140 it will be of great help. I appreciate your reply to my post.

My H1B extension was filed just one day before my I-485 was sent to NSC last July. I was able to get 3 years extension ...my company paid for premium processing though... I think you should be ok with filing the extension. Talk to your lawyer...
:D
This is not correct. you can apply for 1 year extensions if you have applied for 485 and is pending.

I got a brilliant idea guys, I am sure it is not new but it looks now is the right time to pursue it.
Apparently it would be very difficult to fight FBI namechek delays. After USCIS was swamped with a pile of cases due to visa retrogression fiasco the processing times most probably will increase significantly. The visa retrogression is going to be reinstated.
Also there is a great injustice to those who had to go through the BEC black hole.
I think everybody agrees that the current green card process is a lottery where winners get everything in a couple of months and losers wait sometimes 10 years. (Yes I know such cases).
So how to fix all this in a way that it would not affect negatively anybody?
The answer might be very simple: Count the time spent waiting in the administration created lines towards citizenship. In other words the 5 year count starts not when one get the green card but from one’s priority date. After all it is not the immigrant's fault that he has the same name as someone who saw a suspicious person on the plane and was questioned by FBI as a witness.
This would PARTIALLY restore justice without punishing anybody.
USCIS will be happy as it would take off some pressure from their delays.
Legislators are happy as more people will be able to vote for them.
Immigration lawyers are happy as the measure would not take away their revenue, in fact it may even increase it.
All those who say in numerous interviews on TV “.. we are a nation of immigrants and we support LEGAL immigration but we do not want amnesty…” are happy or would have to admit that they are happy to save the face.
The current losers in immigration process would automatically catch up (almost) with the luckiest ones.
Immigrationvoice will be happy as I am sure many current waiters and even those who already got their green cards would contribute to support the measure.
Anti immigrants are NOT UNHAPPY since the measure does not increase the number of immigrants.
Employers are NOT UNHAPPY since the measure does not affect them in any way.
If immigrationvoice has desire and resources to suggest and support a measure to the legislature it better concentrate on this rather that on something like “… make FBI report namecheck results to the applicants..”.
Of course it would require changes to the current legislature but I cannot imagine that somebody would come out with a sensible reason against it.

Miamikk,
I'm in the same boat as you - waiting for the approval of my recapture which I probably won't get until past the recapture expiry this December. Have you filed your COS yet? Let me know how it goes as I plan to do the same this week! Thanks!
Wandmaker, do you know what are the odds of getting approval for COS to B2 from H1B?
I'm about to submit an application for work visa in New Zealand and I want to stay here in the US and wait for my NZ visa approval here. I'm a Filipino national. I'm currently working on some document requirements and my guess-timate is that I'll get my NZ work visa by late January or even February. I do have an employer waiting for me in NZ and I signed an employment contract already. Will all these info be enough to support my application to stay for a few months and leave when I get all my affairs in order (NZ visa,etc)?
Thanks!

Don't give any suggestion on which you don't have any clear knowledge.
"LostInGCProcess" is right in his answer. Visa does not decide duration of stay in US. Duration of a visa is the time when you can enter US legally. But the person's stay in US is decided by I-94 at port of entry. I have seen quite a few people coming here in US with visa expiring within a month but got I-94 for a duration of 3 to 6 months.
The VO gives I-94 only up to the expiry of visa period. Its rare to see someone gives I-94 beyond the expiry date of visa. There is a risk involved.
When you have 10 years visa, they give 2 months and 4 months many times, I don't expect them giving gifts to visitors.

I had a quick question to add to this....
If one is on F1 and his/her spouse (who is on H1B and has filed for a Green Card) ends up with a current priority date, can the person on F1 file for the Green Card along with the spouse? Or does one have to be on H4 to ride along with the H1's COS?
Appreciate your response.

I dont think you can extend ur H1b once it has expired.
So just stay on your EAD.
I do remember that i had to re-file the I-9 tax form with my employer once i moved to the EAD. So do the same with your HR.

Hi All,
Please clarify my doubts if you can.
The G-325A form is asking for dates of previous employment. I have an issue here.....
I did an L1 to H1 transfer in 2005. My L1 was valid till APRIL 2006. So my intention was to work with L1 employer till April 2006 and then switch to H1 employer.
H1 employer also applied for a change of status, I was not aware of the whole status issue that time. I asked the H1 company's lawyer whether I could continue with my L1 employer after getting the H1 and she said it's fine.
So I got the H1B approval in Oct 2005, but still continued with L1 employer till APRIL 2006, then switched to H1.
Recently I came to know that this could be an issue. When I was filling the G-325A form, I wondered if I specify that I worked with the L1 employer till APRIL 2006, would they catch this?? Even if they catch , how big an issue would this be??
If I put the dates to reflect the dates to show that I quit my L1 employer in Oct 2005 itself, would this be an issue?? I guess in this case, if by any chance they ask for any further evidence like pay stubs or W2 in that period of time, I would be in trouble.
Any advice is appreciated. I'm afraid to talk about this to my current company attorney....
Thanks.
Did you get new I-94 with H1 transfer?
Any re-entry in USA after that?
