You can apply immediately for a 1-year extension based on a pending 365 day PERM. Alternatively, you can wait for the PERM to be approved, the apply for I-140 in premium processing and once that is approved, apply for a 3-year extension.

When you can get back depends on what route you take and if you apply in pp or not. The quickest would be to apply for the 1-year extension in pp. However if the PERM verdict is expected shortly, it would make sense to wait a little then apply for I-140 and then a 3-year extension, both in pp.
