sorry, I can't input Chinese.

You LD has to have a legal status to work for the new company. He could transfer his H1 there and he still has 2 years. However, even if his PERM LC and I140 pass (won't take long now), he can't submit I485 until the Visa Bulletin passes his Priority Date, which means he could not get his EAD. Currently, due to the retrogression, the Bulletin is in 2001. Nobody really knows when it will hit 2005. But I heard that once you submit your I140, you should be able to work without H1. I am not sure about this part. You'd better consult an attorney.

Good luck!

谢谢你的回复, 那个485的Priority Date是不是工卡的递交日期? 就是说如果他不换公司, 就是04年10月, 如果换的话就是以新公司PERM的递交日期为准?

非常感谢

我想你说的应该不是没有h1也可以工作，而是lc递交满了一年之后，h1即使满了6年，也还可以延期，一年一年地延期，不用lc的交了140以后满足什么条件也是可以在6年之外延期h1的

应该是，如果他现在离开，原公司不同意用将来会雇用他做这个位置的形式继续支持他的绿卡申请，那个lc就跟他没有关系了，公司倒是可以将来这个lc被批准的话，给接替你老公的人用

谢谢你的回复, 这回弄清楚了

我想关键是到新公司用perm会不会比去年递上的rir快，u never know.

但是如果新公司确实待遇好，有前途，还是可以考虑的，因为不知道整个绿卡过程会等多久啊。
