Legal Question in Immigration Law in Minnesota
Hello there,
I�m on my 8th year H1.
My I-140 got denied, and we filed an appeal which is denied recently.
I got 9th year extension on the basis of I-140 appeal. My H1 extension is valid till Oct�2010.
What are my options?
Can I transfer my H1 to a different company who can file LC or there are no chances of extending my H1 after Oct, 2010.
Thanks,
BA

You have used H-1B for more than 6 years. Extensions were granted on basis of pending I-140 and then appeal. If you want to continue on H-1B, you will need to depart the USA for at least one year, and then have an employer to petition for you again. Or have another employer file the I-140 for you. You don't have to work for another petitioning employer.
Best would be to discuss your options with a qualified attorney in private. Specifically, what are the reason for I-140 denial, etc.
