1. Can I join the new company with in 180 days of i140 approved?
2. Will I get 3 years of visa extension in H1B transfer process?
3. What would happen , If my employeer revoke i140 after I join the new company?

1) you can join the new firm but it comes with risk
2) no you won't get 3 years of visa extension on joining the new firm as you have already completed your 6years. Future extensions are tied to your approved i140
3) if your current employer revokes your i140 then you won't have enough time on your hand to get a new I140 with the new firm so you'll be out of status. This is the risk I mentioned in #1

Ignore the FAANG offer, and get your I140 secured. I would choose immigration over a a FAANG job

That's a tricky situation. Once you get the extension you should be good as long as I140 isn't revoked. Please confirm with a professional imm lawyer

I joined FAANG based on an approved i140 from a Big4 company. My 6 years was almost up but 180 days wasn’t done. The big4 company wasn’t going to revoke the i140 so I made the jump and got a 3 year extension.

I would definitely speak to an immigration attorney to check on that situation. It's a little complicated and there might be a detail you are missing.
