[crazy2020times]

Hello,

 

H1 max out is nearing in few days. I am not sure I will get I140 approved hard copy will be received before the max out date. How can I apply for H1 extension without the I140 hard copy ? 
 

thanks

Without I140 approval you cannot apply for H1B beyond 6 years,

Hi, 

yes I140 approval is required which i have applied in premium. Even though I140 is approved My problem is that I will not receive the hard copy approval before my max out date. So wanted to check what are my options underrated this scenario. 
 

 

thanks

If your I140 is approved and you are waiting on the approval notice, maybe you can file for H1 with online approval screenshot and when USCIS issues an RFE then you can submit the I140 approval notice.

If your I140 is approved and the petitioner of that and your new H1B is same then I am sure they can help you out.
