背景: 我和学校的合同是到2017年8月31日终止. 今年9月27日 刚刚拿到I-140 petition 的 approval notice.
HR 今天通知我说节后要学校雇佣的lawyer跟我谈谈. 我还不知道即将谈话的内容, 但根据以往经验, 实在不敢对他们抱有好的期望. 所以请教8老师几个问题, 以做思想准备:
1. 雇主有权在8月31日之前撤回I-140吗?
-Yes. They can withdraw the I-140 anytime. But there is not law to require that the employer have to withdraw the approved I-140 even if you do not work for the employer (i.e. they will not lose or get anything whether they withdraw the I-140 or not). So, normally the employer does not withdraw the approved I-140.
2. 如果他们撤回, 我现有的Priority date是否还有效? (将来找到新工作之后还可以用之前的PD吗?)
-Yes.
3. 如果他们说要撤回,我有可能用什么办法说服他们至少在8月31日之前不要撤回吗?
-You may discuss with them that no law requires them to withdraw the I-140 (this is different from H-1), and they will not lose anything if they do not withdraw the I-140. The lawyer should know this.
这方面我真的没有斗争经验.
4. 您之前似乎提过如果I-140批准了,那么H-1b可以被多次延长. 如果他们这次撤回了I-140, 换了新工作之后H-1b是不是仍可多次延长?
-If they withdraw the I-140, you can not use it to extend your H-1 anymore. If they do not withdraw it, then you can use it too extend your H-1 beyond the 6-year H-1 limit again and again.
谢谢8老师一年来的帮助, 祝您感恩节快乐! 希望这次职业危机度过后好好答谢8老师.
