Is it risky to change jobs on H1B with an I-140 approved right now? Both in terms of H1B transfer and especially a new PERM filing since a lot of Americans are out of jobs right now. Have you noticed or do you anticipate PERM filings being difficult? Thanks for doing this, Peter!

To date, because of the pandemic and job loss, I haven't seen any change in H-1B or PERM processing (and in fact I would argue both have improved in recent months) but it's possible - even likely - that PERM processing will be impacted because of the job loss.

  If I changed jobs and transfer went through, I’m still able to get an H1B extension with an already approved I-140 even if the new PERM filing is impacted, yes? Thanks again!

    Yes, that's correct.
