Question: Hello, can you please provide me some guidance on my H-1B scenario? I am working on H-1B since October 2004. My current company filed for my green card and my I-140 petition is approved, with a priority date in January 2009. I have recently been approved for H-1B status beyond my 6th year, valid to July 2012. Now I want to know what are my options if I want to move from this job/company?
1. Can I change companies on H-1B now? If so, would I get a 3 yr or 1 yr extension?
2. Do I need to take a break from H-1B status and wait for a year before I can file for a new H-1B? Or can I apply when the H-1B quota opens again in April 2011?
3. Would I retain my GC priority date if I change jobs?
Please find RWG answers after the jump.
