H1B extension Premium or Regular processesing

[sjain7]

My I-129 is valid till 09/30/2012 but since I came to US on Jan 24 2007 , my attorney said I will be completing my six years on Jan 23 2013.Please Confirm.

Sorry I should have give a little background. I am working in USA from last 5 years and have not filled for my Green Card. In last 5 years I was out of USA for almost 10 months. Now I am requesting for an H1b extension for the time I was not in US.

My company is filling for extension and is ready to pay for regular processing which takes 2-4 months . I am interested in going for premium processing . I would like to know if for some reason I didnt get the extension will I be still eligible to work till Jan 23 ,2013.

Or should I just go via Regular processing by which I can legally work till my application is not processed.

Any kind of information or reply is appreciated, Since I have to decide with in a day or 2.

Thanks in Advance.
