H1B extension or Transfer with LC approval

[sash.murthy]

My 6th year H1B is expiring on Feb 2012 and also have LC approval which is expiring on Oct 2011. My current employer has issues or not willing to file I140. In this case,

1. Can I transfer my H1B to a different employer using the current LC approval and get an extension for 1.6 years (Sep 2011 - Feb 2012 + 1 year)?

or

2. Will I get an extension only for the remaining period?

Thanks

I think its #1, you will get 1.6 years but I would wait for someone else to comment too.

As per my understanding LC means PERM approval, you cannot get 1 year extension with PERM from different employer when you apply for H1B transfer. H1B will be approved upto 6 years maximum period when applied for transfer if you don't have I-140 approval.
