My H1B max is in June 2022. I have not yet gotten the i140. I want to change my job now. How much time do I have? I am thinking if I could be transferred before June 2021 and the new company starts green card immediately (basically that would be a must), a new job is possible. Am I missing something?

dude ..stick to your company till you get i140.....pwd itself taking 7 months now..perm 8+ months still uncertain...at minimum you need 2.5 years to safely start gc with new firm assuming they start immediately

I think you’re cutting it close. PWD and PERM are each taking 6+ months now. Depending on where you are in the process, I would stick it out if you can until you get your i140.

Is this max of 6 years? If you have an approved I-140 or AOS pending you can max for another year I think?

I don’t. Sigh. If I get fired, that’s it for me. So depressed.

Can you do premium processing for I140 - that takes 15 days if you’ve already got approved labor for green card.
It might be out of pocket but you would be able to make the jump and get some safety that you can get your H1B renewed?

Yes, I can attest the 2600$ though it hurt, was worth it- 5 days approval on I-140

Why isn’t why applying for your I140? It’s always easier and faster to do it with you current employer.

I am preparing the worst (I.e losing the job).
