Can I Join My Old Employer If The H-1B Transfer Is Denied?

6 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I have an H-1B visa stamped from employer A and the employer B has filed my H-1B (Transfer visa) based on the H-1B petition visa from employer A. Now, my H-1B visa filed by employer B is on RFE and my employer A wants to file the GC based on my previously approved i-140 from employer C. Below are my questions:

1. Can I reject the offer from employer B and still continue to work with employer A on current Visa if my H-1B from employer B is approved? 
2. Can I reject the offer from employer B and still continue to work with employer A on current Visa if my H-1B from employer B is denied? 
3. In case my visa from employer B is rejected do I need to leave the country and come on the stamped visa which I have now? 
4. Can I ask employer A to file my Green Card even if my H-1B from employer B is rejected or approved without any issues or do I need to provide any visa documentation to employer A on my petition from employer B being approved or rejected?
Can I immediately file the Green Card with employer B (after joining the employer B office) if my visa from employer B is approved?

I received my labor approval in just 2 months this Aug. I am happy that I went with Mr. Rajiv S.Khanna for labor certification. I must mention here that the paperwork done here has been perfect and I had no RFE's and I am confident that with such perfection & highly skilled team they will be able to get my Green Card much faster & with no RFE's. I found the staff in his office in general and with a special mention of Mr.Vijay Durgam and Mathew Chacko very co-operative. Mr.Vijay thank you for your timely replies and detail explaination for all my questions . Thanks to Rajiv shaab and his staff for making people like me happy.I will definetly tell people who are looking for GC to choose Mr.Rajivs firm because they are the best !!!!!!!

Mr Khanna provided great advice regarding my petition as it was complicated. We had to apply for an amendment while current H1B extension was pending. Mr Khanna made all the right arguments and we were able to get an approval. All along the process I've been working with Kalpana and Bharathi on regular basis and had calls scheduled with Mr Khanna when needed. They were very detailed and current in terms of documentation.
I would like to thank them once again and highly recommend "Law Office of Rajiv S. Khanna".

H-4 EAD Based Upon Prior Employers

6 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I am currently working with employer A on H-1B visa with I-140 approved for over 180 days. My wife is on F-1 EAD. I am planning to move her visa status from F-1 to H-4 EAD AFTER I join Employer B next month based on my approved I-140 from my employer A.

My questions are: 
1. Once I join employer B, will I be able to apply for my wife's H4 EAD based on approved I140 which I have from employer A? Can I apply both visa status change (F1 to H4) and application for H4 EAD concurrently? 
2. In other words, will changing my employer impact my wife's eligibility to get H-4 EAD based on my approved I-140 from previous employer? 
3. Can I change multiple employer based on I-140 approved from employer A? If yes, what if employer B has already started green card process (PERM)? 
4. If I get I-140 approved from employer B also then what will happen to I-140 approved with employer A?
