7th year extension and withdrawal of original LC impact

Hello dear friends, My 6th yr on H1B ends Mar 2005. My earlier employer filed my LC in Aug 2003. LC has progressed from State Labor to Federal Labor since. My current employer has filed for 7th yr extension based on earlier LC documents on 20th Dec 2004. My earlier employer will be withdrawing the LC for some reason. My current employer will be filing a fresh LC this month.
Questions:

1. Given the above situation, should my current employer get my 7th yr extension done via Premium Processing since my earlier employer will be withdrawing the LC anytime now.
2. Even if 7th yr extension is approved, would it be correct to keep working even though the original LC has been withdrawn.
3. My current employer's immigration lawyers have received the receipt stating that my 7th yr extension request was received. If my LC is withdrawn anytime now, will my 7th yr extension go thru.

Please advise. Many thanks.

Do you have a good relationship with your earlier employer?? Then request him not to withdraw the LC.
2. Even if 7th yr extension is approved, would it be correct to keep working even though the original LC has been withdrawn. ----- Yes
3. My current employer's immigration lawyers have received the receipt stating that my 7th yr extension request was received. If my LC is withdrawn anytime now, will my 7th yr extension go thru. ---------- If LC is not withdrawn by the time your case is being processed then you are safe.

Hope things will work out. Try talking to your previous employer and request him not to withdraw the LC say for another year. Rightaway file another LC from your current employer.



Please advise. Many thanks.
