Regarding H-1B Extensions

8 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I heard your community conference call for 1st December, you mentioned that even though the approved I-140 is withdrawn by a previous employer after 180 days of approval we should still eligible for H1 extensions with a new employer.

My question here: is it required that new employer need to file labor and I-140 in order to apply for extensions or can I just keep on applying for H1B extensions based on my first I-140 approval?

You can keep applying for H-1B extensions based upon a valid I-140 approval from an old employer. The new employer does not have to file. But if you want to get a green card, some employer will have to restart the process.

We had a case with our employee where his H1 extension was denied. We had very little time to apply for a new extension before his earlier H1 expired. Rajiv Khanna assured us that he will get the H1 for our employee. All the team members at Rajiv Khanna's law offices were very helpful and got the application submitted in 2 days. The employee received his H1 approval in record time. Thanks a lot for all your efforts and help. We highly recommend Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna for all your immigration needs.
