I am on my H1B 6th Year Ending and my H1B valid till 2012 Sep 30 with my Current employer company A Which is a desi consultancy company.
I have a approved I140 with company A. With PD of March 2008. I 140approved in OCT2008
Cargability - India
I485 - Not yet filed
----------------------------------------------------------
on March 1st company A announced that they will be merging with company B.
Company B Sent us an E-mail saying that they are acquiring resource group of company A.
When we questioned our old employer company A, they told us that yes company A will remain in existence but all human resources will move to company B All other assets and liabilities will stay with company A.

3. Or do I need to go thru the whole process of ADS, PERM, I140 path to come to current state?
4. What happens if my PDate (Old, and assuming that in either case I can port my PD??) is current before company B's I 140 got approved? Can I file I 485 based on my company A I140 As company A still exists???
Are there any complications involved in this?
