Hi,
I am with employer A for about 6 years now and got my I-140 with them with a PD of July 2011. I am in my 3 year extension with a valid petition until May 2016. I got a job opportunity with company B in Aug 2015 and got my H1 transferred to them but did not join the company. The petition is valid till Aug 2018. So still working for company A.
Questions:
1. Can I move to company B now on the old H1 transfer that is valid till Aug 2018 that I got in Aug 2015?
2. If I get an extension with company A now, and a valid 797 for next three years, can I still go to company B on the old petition? Or this new petition from company A overrides the petition from company B?
3. Is it right time to change the companies or do we expect either I140 EAD or movement in priority dates?
Please advise.
