PERM as future employment on H4 status

[mous]

I've completed 6 yrs on H1 and now I've converted to H4 status. If I can find an employer to hire me, can I file PERM as future employment while on H4 and then later when PERM and I-140 is approved, can I get a H1 with new employer and get back to work?

1. You are certainly allowed  find an employer willing to file your PERM. Once PERM is pending 365 days or the I-140 is approved you can get future extensions. Realistically speaking the chances may be less. I would say it hinges on how good your credentials are to make the scenario realistic.
