H1 extension after 6years with current employer on an Approved/pending I-140 from Future Employer

[KSLRK]

Hi,

I'm currently working for full time as a associate civil engineer with Employer A.

I'm currently in 6^th year of H1B, and the period ends Dec 2012. Employer A doesn’t sponsor GC. Employer A is very good given the benefits and compensation and its not a consulting company.

I found Employer B who is willing to sponsor GC as a future employee.

If I get labor approved and pending I-140 with Employer B. Can I get 7^th year H1B extension with Employer A?

If possible can some refer to any written clause/adjudicator manual.

Thanks in Advance!

Extensions beyond 6 years of H1 status are based on

1. LABOR pending 365 days...one year extensions....

2. Approved I-140...3 year extensions.

GC sponsor and H12 sponsor need not be the same.
