This pretty clearly differentiates between a rec't for an initial or renewal application and a rec't for an application to replace a lost document. Below is an excerpt from the the most recent I-9 Handbook for Employers published by USCIS. The rec't for replacement of the lost EAD is good for up to 90 days. In my opinion, your situation clearly falls within the "receipt rule". and I am going to apply for my 7-years since I been waiting for 45-days letter more than 2 years since Feb 2004!!!!Ĭan I change my company and relocate to another state and still keep the current GC application going? I assume my old company will still approve and sign anything that they can help. I just got my 45-days letters today and my H1-B will expired on May 2007 for the 6 years.Ĭan I change my lawyer? cuz my lawyer is lame. (however, better make sure from a lawyer). If you file under EB2, I think you can still transfer your priority date from your old EB3 labor and 140 to new EB2 process. Yes, if your old employer is going to withdraw your labor and 140, then your new employer will have to start GC from scratch. That way, you will have 365 days passed when your 6 year term is over in Aug 2007, making you eligible for 7th year of H1. But have your new employer start the new GC's labor right away. Now, if you quit your current employer and go with new one and you end up getting only 1 year H1 with the new employer(in case if you cannot somehow use your current approved 140 to get a 3 year H1), then its still ok. The thing is - beyond the 6th year, you can get 3 year extensions of H1 if your 140 is approved(with someone, anyone, it doesnt have to be your employer at that time). You will get a 3 year H1 term with your new employer based on your current 140 that is approved(with your current employer). If you new employer is willing to do H1, then FILE H1 as soon as possible. You still have another 2 months before you begin the last year of your initial 6-year H1 term. I am not an immigration lawyer and my knowledge is based on forums like these.

First of all, make sure you double check everything I say here with an immigration lawyer.
