Hello:
I have a valid I-140 (Date: 2012) from my previous employer (Employer A). My current employer (Employer B) also filed for my I-140 and was approved in 2018. My new employer (Employer C) filed for my H1B transfer and received an approval notice only for the remaining period on my current H1B i.e only for 1 year. My questions are:
Why did I only get a 1-year extension (remaining period on my current H1B) instead of a 3-year extension on the transfer when I already have an approved and valid I-140?
Should the new employer attorney have mentioned in my transfer petition that I am eligible for a 3-year extension based on my prior approved I-140s?
What is the remedy/fix for this situation?
Thank you very much for your help!!
