Question regarding H1 extension

[Endeavour2003]

Friends,

My current H1 is expiring on 5/1/06 and my 6 years H1 period is expiring on 3/11/07. My I-140 is currently under process.

I am planning to apply for H1 extension.

Am I eligible for an extension from 5/1/06 to 3/11/07 (6 year period ) or from 5/1/06 to 3/11/08 (6 year period + 1 year due to pending 1-140 )?

Only rule for extension is each extension can not be more than 3 years. If you are
eligible for 7th year extension(your LC or I140 must be filed more than 365days before extension start date), you can file petition til 3/11/08.
USCIS has already confirmed this policy.

PERM - 7'th year exension

Hi GotPR,

Thanks for the info.

What happens when someone's (LC) PERM is approved he applied PERM less than 365 days ago. Can he get a 7'th year exension?

LC must be more than 365days old upon H1's 6yr expiration date(Strcitly speaking, memo says start date of extension). Unfortunately, approval does not mean much for 7th year extension.
