H1B Extension after Priority Date is Current

[Jai Vijay]

MASSIVE EB3 Priority Dates Movement

Hi,
First thanks a lot for your Services to the Community

I am on H1B. I have a I-140 EB3 Priority Date of May 2008 from Company A. Now I am with Company B who is not willing to file my PERM. My H1B is valid until April 2018.

Following are the EB3 Priority Dates Movements in USCIS VISA Bulletin.

June 2017 VISA Bulletin: 15MAY05
July 2017 VISA Bulletin: 15FEB06 
August 2017 VISA Bulletin: 15JUL06

Between June and July Bulletins there is a 9 month Advance Movement.
Between July and August Bulletins there is a 5 month Advance Movement.

So in a matter of 3 months there is a 14 months advance movement. If it goes at this rate then I will reach my Priority Date of May 2008 in next 4 months.

No one can judge the VISA bulletin movement dates. I am assuming by november 2017 I will reach my priority date of May 2008.

In this scenario:

1. If my company put a H1B extension request to USCIS in November 2017 will USCIS provide me a 1 year extension to my H1B?

2. Will I keep getting my H1B extensions in the future too even after my priority dates are current?

Please advise

Thanks
VJ
