H1B extension, new PERM application pending from employer

[N1016]

Hi,

My current H1B expires in May 2019. I took up an opportunity with a big company in mid 2016 and moved from my previous employer with whom i had approved i-140 (approved in 2014). The current company I am at has been very slow with the PERM process and finally has placed my PERM on hold till May 2018. I am not sure if that would place me in Red zone with my H1B extension next year since my previous employer has revoked my 140 (confirmed ) and I am already in my 7th year of H1B. 

It would be great if someone can advice me how to proceed .

 

Thanks

Yes you are in red zone. You need to find an employer who can file gc asap before May 2019. 

Check with your previous employer if they can take you back and start gc process again. You would retain the pd.
