H1-B extension question beyond 9 years - please share your experience

I entered in US on March 2005 on H-1B from company ABC, and never went out of the country.

I had approved I-140 on company ABC and priority date is Apr 2010.

I moved to employer XYZ in 2011 and used approved I-140 from my previous employer which got me 3 years extension (till march 2014).

Employer XYZ has stated my PERM labor in JAN 2013 (before 365+ days from last date my current H1-B). now last week we have received randon audit for my PERM application with my new (XYZ) employer.

FYI, My current employer(XYZ) is very big organization.
My question is, to get extension beyond 9th year what option I have in below scenario.

1. How long generally it takes to get approval on audit cases?

2. If I don’t get approval on my PERM application before March 2014, will I be able to get extension on my visa based on the fact : my perm application is pending more than 365+ days even it is in audit?

3. I am not sure if my previous employer has already revokes my approved I-140 or not, is there any way I can know without asking to my previous employer?

4. Is there and other option in this case?

Please post your experience, Thanks in advance.
