I got an ICT4 offer from Apple AMP team. Yesterday my Perm with walmart is approved. Next step is to fill I140. Should I wait before jumping ship ? What are the possible options ? Current TC : 250k Apple TC : 360k Location : bay area
Get i140 premium first. Then do h1b transfer
When do I get priority date ? After I140 approval ?
Priority date will be the date perm was filed. But you will "get" it upon i140 approval
You still have time to get I140, even if you get, your employer can withdraw anytime in 6 months. I would take Apple and jump the boat
Amazon withdraws petitions of folks who left? No other employer does that as it costs them to withdraw
Can I keep the priority date if I leave after I140 approval ?
Priority date is the date when your perm gets filed.
What role at Apple btw?

H1B transfer takes time. Get i140 from Walmart as soon as possible and then jump ship.
Apply i140 through Walmart using premium. Takes 15-20 days. Apple H1B transfer and bg check will take 1.5 months+. Your priority date is the date of perm filing. PS: if you’re from India/China, It may be worth jumping ship if i140 doesn’t get approved in time, because a few months won’t matter in the long term anyway. But yeah, consult with an immigration lawyer

You have not mentioned how much time you have on H1-B. It all depends on that
I have around 3.5 years left.
