Is it worth upgrading I-140 application to premium processing? USCIS received both 485 and 140 in Jan and receipt date says April for both.

Yes. I got my I-140 approved in like two days with premium processing.

Well, it won’t change that much in timeline, but if the Indian lobby manages to pass a law revoking country caps, you may end up wishing you had your 140 approved earlier since some of the laws proposed would have carried a consequence of 10Y+ wait for anyone without 140 approved at the time.

Last year it was an inch away from passing, so if you are ROW I wouldn’t doubt about upgrading

Well with the new Congress cycle with Biden all these laws need to be reintroduced. But believe me, some will get reintroduced and their lobby machine is insane (anyone who followed the harassment to Dick Durbin knows what I am talking about).

So you’ll likely be ok, but I’d definitely rush to at least have 140 approved and 485 filed

Yes, it’s worth it. Got 140 approval in 4 days with PP.

Thanks!!

Wow! It took 3+ months to get a receipt?

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
