Dear friends,
I had couple of questions regarding transferring one's H1 (from Company A to company B) while the H1 extension application is pending/open filed by company A:
1. I know that one can transfer their H1 with approved I-140 beyond 6 yrs but is there any detrimental effect to either of the applications (H1 extension or H1 transfer) when both applications are open/pending at the same time? Do we know how the USCIS views 2 applications that are open at the same time from the same person?
2. Also, how would the adjudication of one application affect the other since, more often than not, the applications would be adjudicated at different times? For eg: what will happen to the H1 extension application (by company A) if the transfer application (by company B) is approved first and vice-versa? And does the applicant need to do anything with respect to the open application once the application of interest (say H1 transfer) is approved first?
thanks and regards,
