I am currently in my second extension in US on L1A. My GC has been files under EB2 category and I got my I-140 approved in Jan this year. I have traveled to US in the past on H1 and have spent total of 4.6 years in US. Last H1 extension in May 2009 was denied as company did not provide SOW and MSA docs.
My question are -
1. Can I switch to a different company in US using H1 out of cap? Will my I-140 approval carryover or will I need to file a new one?
2. Can I continue in US in the current company beyond 7 years if they file GC under EB1 category (given the wait is close to 3 years now)?
- 2nd extn on L1 approved till 91-Jun-2021
- I-140 approval (EB2) notice date - 30-Jan-2019
- Spent 4.6 years on H1
