Has anyone filed 7th or 8th year extension while CP is in progress? If so, please let me know if any one has recived extension for 3 year or they just give 1 year extension.
following is the response I have recieved from my attorney and to me it seems like 3 years extension is only available to I-485 filers.

Q. Are they issuing 3 year extensions now?
A: Yes, but the language of that portion of the law (relating to three year extensions) suggests that this is only available to those individuals who are seeking their permanent residency via Adjustment of Status in the U.S., not those who are Consular Processing. We will be glad to request a three-year extension on your behalf, but just understand that a strict interpretation of the law may prohibit the immigration service from granting a 3-yr. extension. You are, however, clearly eligible for a one-year extension, so there is no question that your visa can be extended. The only question is for how long?
