H1 B Perm situation after 7 years

[Ajitha]

Hello,

My perm was filed on April 2017 before my 5th year h1b date(Sep 2017)  i got another year extension since my perm was pending. This perm got denied on Jan 2018 and my employer filed another perm August 2018 and there is an audit on that as well right now. So now i am in my 7th year extension with the pending perm and i have stamped visa until aug 2019. 

I am planning to file perm with another employer and the employer says there is no dependency. But how will my extension on my H1b work since my 6 yrs is already done. Any help is much appreciated.

Yes, multiple employers can file PERM and there is no dependency since it's for different jobs. Your 7th year extension till Aug 2019 is still valid and you can continue working, even if the associated PERM has been denied. To extend beyond Aug 2019, will depend on status of the new PERM filed.
