Q.

H1 to H4 to H1

I have exhausted my full H1B 6 yrs in Oct08 and since my labor application(EB3)was filed quite late in Aug08,I was not eligible for a 7th year H1B extension.Consequently,I had to come on H4 (H4 was stamped in India,Wife is on H1).My I140 application was also been approved Apr 10,while I was on H4.My Ques. are
1)Is it possible for me to get back to H1 with a 3 year extension on the ground that I have an approved I140 application?If yes,what are the exact mechanics,cost and paperwork involved 2)Currently,I have a job offer from an employer other than the one who originally filed my GC application.Can I still use
my approved I-140 as above and file a 3 year H1 extension with this new employer OR only the employer who orginally filed my GC application can file for my H1 extension as well?
