I have an approved I-140 with Employer A, and I am about to complete six years on H1B. Can I file for an H1B change of employer / extension with Employer B, even if the new H1B position is completely different from the I-140 position?

Answer

In general, an approved I-140 can be used to extend H1B status beyond 6 years, regardless of the job or employer. (07.Aug.2017)
