Help needed : H1-B 7th Year Ext.

[gpusa]

Hi,
I am soon planning to seek 7th year extension of my H1-B as I have only 4 months left on 6-year limit.

At present I am working with company X. But I have applied my labor through a different company. The labor has been pending for more than 365 days now.

Now I want to apply for H-1B transfer (company X to company Y) AND 7th year extension. I am planning to leave company X and join company Y (one who is doing my labor app).

1). Can I be able to apply H-1B transfer (company X to company Y) AND 7th year extension TOGETHER through company Y?
2). Or do I need to do H-1B transfer (company X to company Y) first for remaining H-1B period on 6-year limit AND join company Y (to be on their payroll for 1-2 months) AND FINALLY apply for 7th year extension through company Y?
3). Do I need to be on Company Y payroll before I seek 7th year extension through them?

Please advise any suggestions, pitfalls, etc.
Thanks in advance,
dav

----- GET the LC filing evidence and the evidence of LC filing is the reciept that lawyer gets after LC is filed with SESA or SWA

----- talk to your lawyer
2). Or do I need to do H-1B transfer (company X to company Y) first for remaining H-1B period on 6-year limit AND join company Y (to be on their payroll for 1-2 months) AND FINALLY apply for 7th year extension through company Y?
------ that is the best, if possible try to file H1 transfer through Premium processing as you have only 4 months left on H1 and through PP you will get your H1 transfer approved in 15-25 days and then file for 7th year H1 extension with LC pending evidence
3). Do I need to be on Company Y payroll before I seek 7th year extension through them?
---- it will be better in your case if you have Y pay stubs when file 7th year H1 through Y (I hope your LC is also pending through Y)
Please advise any suggestions, pitfalls, etc.
