I am currently in 7th year of my H1-B (with company A), which will expire on SEP,20,2013. [1stH1B: Sep04-07, 2ndH1B: Sep07-10]
I also have an approved I140 [approved more than 3 year ago] from Green Card application filed on EB2 [PD June 07 and not current]
I am planning on joining company B in Feb/March of 2012.
Here is my Question
When company B, files for H1B transfer in Feb/Mar 2012 (I heard that even though word 'transfer' is used, it's more like a new H1B application), and if it gets
approved, I will get a new I797 (H1_approval). Will this new I797 have validity of 3 MORE years [until Feb/Mar 2015] or will it expire like my current H1B expiration date in Sep 2013
