All,
I have until April 2007 on my H1B. I have a non perm labor with a priority date of Oct 2003 from state of NY for which I havent received the 45 day letter yet.
I have a job offer from a client whom I work for currently and the client is willing to Hire me as of March 2006.
This hiring is mandatory .I have to accept it or quit the client.
Now assuming I take up this job as on April 01,2006 which would leave me with one year on my H1.
The client cannot get me sevent year extension since he wouldnt be able to file for my perm labor before 365 days of my six year completion.
However can the client use my existing labor from my current employer and apply for my sevent year extension.
Also is this possible in case the labor is pending or it is approved.
Please advise on how best to proceed.
