try getting your H1 transferred if your current company is not extending,this is the correct time to do that.
Thank you both for answering me, not very encouraging though. I know that people out of status or about to lose it receive a quicker response; that's why I was reaching out for others like me.
Unfortunately transfer my H1-B is not an option for me anymore because I have exceeded the 6 years threshold and even got 2 additional years while I was waiting for the labor certification. My country is not getting better and the government is still chasing people that somehow challenge them, which is my case. After your responses I will try to be patience and keep waiting until the 150th day at least to apply for the EAD. Do I still have that option, haven't I?
