Just received my I140 (Indian EB2). What happens if I lost my job after 180 days? Can I transfer to H4 (my SO on H1), and later file for a H1 using my I140 with a new employer? What is if i go back to india? Can i apply for my H1 anytime (without going through lottery) and move back to US? I am trying to understand how safe is having I140?

Separately EY fishes, do you know if EY withdraws the I140 if you leave the firm before 180 days?

TIA

Yes, to all of your scenarios, and if EY doesn’t withdraw your i140 within 180 days, you can get h1 anytime as you want.
Having an approved i140 is a way to extend your H1B beyond the initial six years and you can apply for GC when your priority date becomes current. If your i140 is not withdrawn within 180 days, you can use the same priority date when applying for GC through a different employer in future.

G1 - Thanks for the info.

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?
