H1B Extension-Processing time Close to 240 Days mark at Vermont Service Center.

[PIN2020]

Hello,

I have applied my H1 Extension via normal processing. my i94 expired in sept 2019.

my case was transferred from California Center to Vermont center in Oct 2019.

since then, there is no update and will be soon approaching 240 days.

so trying to find my options to continue work or h1 transfer to new employer or new h1 with same employer on a different project?

please suggest

 

Thanks

If you think the H1 extension will be approved then staying put is the best thing at this point. New H1 will be risky and you will have to leave the country or do a bridge petition.
