Hi Guys,

My Labor Application is currently pending at the regional level,my file was sent on Feb 2003,hence i am looking at a date somewhere in March 2004 when my Labor gets approved.In the Meantime my 6th Year on H1B expires on September 30th 2004.so i should get my EAD card before my H1B expires.

This looks like more risky to wait, since my labor took so long to get approved (almost 2.5 years) i am entitled for a one more year extension of my H1B visa.However here comes the issue.I am currently working for different employer on H1B and my greencard is being done by other company.with this scenario will i be able to get that one year extension of my H1B from the current employer or else do i have to go back to my former employer by transfering back my H1B and then later on applying for that one year extension.i have to go through this stuff all because of my Labor taking up some much time.i need some suggestions on how to handle this situation.

regards.:confused:
 
You are complaining about 1 yr processing time for labor :eek:

Anyways, it is not necessary that you have to work for the sponsoring company to get H1 7th year extension. But by applying for 7th year extension from a different company you are jeopardizing I140 and beyond...
