Answer: Basically, Yes. However, we advise you to get another U.S. employer who’s ready to offer you a similar or even better H-1B position before you leave your first employer. Since you’ve already secured another H-1B extension, and your current employer has not withdrawn your I-140 petition, the next step is straightforward. First, ask your soon-to-be employer to restart the “green card” application process. The application process is quite lengthy but simple. Your future sponsoring employer needs to file a brand new PERM Labor Certification and Labor Condition Application (LCA). The employer must also file Form I-140 on your behalf. The process takes up to six months to prepare so the good news is that you’ll be able to reclaim/recapture/re-use your old PERM’s earlier priority date.
