Can my employer file a I-140 after I quit or he terminates me?
I am currently employed on a H1B visa ( 7th yr extension). My employer had applied for Labor back in Jan 2009 but it hasn’t yet been approved. my employer now intends to terminate my employment by the end of the year ( lay offs/ I could quit voluntarily ) Can they still file for a I-140 ( based on a future job offer)? I would like to maintain my priority date. Also can a prospective employer file for a H1B extension based on a pending/approved labor after I no longer work for the current firm?
Both things are possible as long as the I-140 is filed in good faith. I have doubts about the I-140 approval if the job ceases to exist even temporarily.
I would like to thank Mr. Khanna and his PROFESSIONAL team FOR help with my labor CERTIFICATION. I really appreciate the service I got from your office. I would especially like to thank Richa who was very helpful, thorough, prompt, diligent and very professional. Mr. Khanna was very detail oriented and pointed out at the smallest issues. I was amazed when I was told how many people review the case before it’s submitted. Due to this thorough work I got my labor approved in less than a month. I apologize to all who I have not named here for all the hard work they put in. I would recommend thEm to all my friends and family.
