My 6 years on H1B expiring on August 20th, 2002. My I-140 at TSC with ND 11/15/01
Has been transferred to VSC on Feb 14th. VSC Receiving date is Feb 27th.

I have no idea when my I-140 will be approved. It takes 4 to 5 months to get the
CP interview from Chennai after I-140 is approved. If I get the interview date,
Before August 20th, it will be fine. Otherwise, I have to apply for 7th year H1B renewal before
August 20th, 2002.

What should I do?. Should I apply it right now for renewal or wailt until August 1st week?

Also, is anybody could give me the actual costs associated with H1B renewal.
I mean how much employer has to pay (according to INS rules) and what are the legal
Fees etc.. It seems my company is not interested to do 7th H1B renewal.

It would probably be a good idea to apply as soon as possible, just for peace of mind.

The employer is required to pay only $1,000, the rest can be paid by the employee.
