Hello:
My I-140 got approved on 3/31/03 as per the INS web site;
and my company's law firm filed an H1-B extension for the 7th year on (4/1/03), premium processing.
At the time of filing, the I-140 approval status(apparently)
was not known by the law firm.
My 6 year term ends on June 11, 03.
Now the law firm is saying my H1-extension may not be approved.
But even if file for I-485 soon, I may not get my EAD by
my 6 year term expiration and I may not be allowed to work.
My question is:
Why should approval of I-140 affect my 7th year externsion petition?
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
