extension beyond 7 yrs possible?

[altano]

Hi

I am on the 7th year extension with my H1B. I have I-140 (green card - outstanding researcher) application going for more than a year. I plan to switch jobs and reapply I-140 with the new employer.

In that case, can I get one more year extension (8th year) for
H1-B since I would have a green card application going?

Thanks,

A.

Yes. Read up AC21, the h1 can be granted in increments of 1 year after the 6 year period, as long as a I140 is pending.
