I have very short period of time for my 6 years of h1, I have to make a decision today on how to file for 7th year h1, 140 and 485 based on a pre-approved labor.
If I make a decision today, it will take another 10 days so for the new employer to file my papers. So, it will be the end of this month or early first week September and by that time I may have hardly five weeks left for my h1 expiration date.
The new employer said, they are going to file for 140 first and based on the receipt they file for 7th year extension and after that they file for 485. Can I go with that?
Also, with this short period of time, if I need to file 140, 485, EAD, and AP concurrently, will that 5 weeks time is sufficient to get the receipt from INS or just filing (submitting documents to INS) of 485 will keep in status (in other words if I don't get the receipt beofre my h1 expires)? And can I file for 7th year extension, even after it expires, based on the 485 pending?
If we file 140 and 485 concurrently by sending all the documents in one package, the applications for 140 and 485 gets separated for processing? In other words can I get the 140 receipt first even if 485 takes longer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
