Am starting to look out for job. Does anynody know how much time do companies want on H1 for them to consider for interview . i have around 10 months on it and my i140 is valid for 10 months as well. Will the new emoloyer be able to file i140 after h1b extension or will my priority date be lost?
It does not matter. I have mine expiring in 2 months, i get constant calls for interview. Look at it this way, if you stay in current job, they will apply for H1 in 6 months and it extends by 3 yrs (best scenario) if you get a new job, they apply for amendment and it will be 3 yrs (best case scenario again) into the future. you have H1 either ways Cheers !
It doesn't matter if you have your i140 approved.
Doesn't matter. If they like you then your H1-B transfer will come with an extension.
