So let's say I have an approved I 140 from a previous employer. I transfer my H1B and go to a new employer. As per the new I 140 rule, my previous employer can't cancel my approved I 140 so let's say I use that to file for a 3 year H1B extension, and keep filing for the same every 3 years till my priority date becomes current. 

Then I either go back to my previous employer and ask him to file for COS or ask the new employer to file my GC from scratch and re-use the previous I 140 priority date. 

So essentially this rule is empowering H1B by almost making it equivalent to having an EAD. Correct me if I am wrong here anyone. 

I don't think you can use I140 from old employer. Its only the PD which you'd be able to retain..

nothing close to EAD, stamping ki every time povali

Sounds possible to me. Experts ravali

correct. you can  keep on renewing  until you 1) go back to old employer when dates are current  or 2) file 485 from old employer as future employment when dates are current or 3) file perm and 140 with new employer and port the priority date.

You are 100% correct.. That is what portability is all about.

 My previous employer can't cancel my approved I 140  if i had stayed with my employer for more than 180 days after i140 approval?is my assumption correct?

even if he cancel's you can still port the date as long as the cancellation is not for fraud or other willful misrepresentation.

 

what is unclear is if this rule will apply retroactively for 140's that are already revoked or is it for 140 only from the date when this goes into effect. Peddalu clarify cheyali

I agree I didn't mean it in that sense. I am just talking about job portability not so much Advanced Parole.

It's not retroactive, they stated this clearly.
