Spouse H1 - 7th year extension?

yogi

Registered Users (C)
I have completed my 6 years and filed for 7th year extension based on labor petition pending > 365 days.

We filed for labor in 2001 with my employer. Can my spouse use the same petition or my extended 7th year H1 to extend her H1?

---what do you mean by WE? was LC filed for you or your spouse also??

---- it seems that she is also on H1, she needs her independent LC pending more than 365 days to extend her 7th year H1 status, she Cannot use your LC to extend her 7th year H1, but she can change from H1B to H4 based on your 7th year H1 and she need to file COS before her I-94 gets expired.
 
what stage can I extend my H1 if my spouse if applying for GC

I have similiar question here. My H1B will expire in July 2007, I did not start my GC application but my wife is applying for GC (with NIW, because I guess that is faster than LC) for us, my question is: if my wife sumbit the application and get I140 approved before the expiration of my H1B, can I extend my H1B in this situation?
Thanks for your time and input.
 
No, you should have your LC to extend your H1 beyond 6 years.
You cannot take benefit as derivative until spouse files I485.
