PERM Filed, H1b expiring soon

[rohit.rohitnar]

Hi:

My PERM was filed a couple of weeks ago. My H1B expires in September 2013. If my PERM is approved before that, I could get my H1B extended via I-140 PP.

I need to know what happens if that is not the case. I am aware that I need to leave the country. As we cannot predict PERM approval, let us assume that the PERM is approved, say in November 2013. Assuming I go through the H1B stamping, not subject to cap, when is the earliest that can I come back to the US and start working for the same company that filed my PERM?

I have a mortgage going on and an accurate response will be appreciated and help me plan for things ahead.

Thanks
