Hello Friends,
A lawyer told me that if you are on the 6th year of H1B and the company fires you then there is no way that you can have an extension on your visa even if your I-140 has been approved. This is because the company would fire you and withdraw your I-140 and cancel your H1B. So even if you found a new company who is willing to file for your H1B you will still not be able to extend it since you have no approved I-140. My question is that this gives a company way too much power over you since they can literally throw you out of the country. Is there anyway for a person in such a situation to stay on by extending for one more year using the labor certification? Also how will we know if the I-140 has been revoked or not?
