H1 completing 6 yrs soon, I140 approved from previous employer and withdrawn

[vasudevadv]

HI,

My i140 was approved with my previous employer A. Later to that I moved to employer B and PERM is in progress. Meanwhile, employer A withdrawn their petition of i140 and said that my approved i140 will still hold good and be active. Is this true? Based on this i140 could i stay on H1B beyond 6 years in US?

I will be completing 6 years in US very soon and employer B is also saying the same that 'you have approved i140 already', so we can apply for extension. They do not know that employer A has withdraw it and i am not sure will that really affect me here. Please advise.


Thanks,
Vasu

How long ago was your I140 approved prior to employer A's withdrawal? If it is more than 6 months, yes your approved I140 is valid and you can file for extension.

Yes. it is more than 6 months (infact 3 years) after which Company A withdraw it.
What does it mean that even if Company A has withdrawn, how do we determine that it is still valid and active?

Is there a place / website where we can check / validate i140 being active? Please advise.

In that case you are good. You can use your previous I140. Try the USCIS case tracker for checking on your I140.
