Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Re: H1B Transfer and 3 year extension after 6 year limit

Yes, if you have an approved I-140 petition AND the immigrant visa number is not available for you due to the visa number retrogression (meaning that you are not eligible to file I-485 due to visa number limits), you may extend your H-1B on a three-year interval beyond the 6-year limitation. This can be done together with a change of employer. If you or your new employer have questions, feel free to contact me.

The above reply is in the nature of general information, is not legal advice and does not form an attorney-client relationship.

Re: H1B Transfer and 3 year extension after 6 year limit

Yes, an H-1B transfer and 3 year extension may be requested at the same time.

Our immigration practice has a special emphasis on employment-based immigration. We have substantial experience in H-1B transfer petitions and would be happy to represent you and your prospective employer in this matter.

The information contained herein is intended only for educational or informational purposes and is not a substitute for legal advice.

Responding to this inquiry in no way establishes an attorney client relationship; however, I look forward to exploring these issues with you further by way of telephone or in-person consultation.
