PERM pending for 365 days - Can I switch employer now?

[philly3456]

My PERM pending for more than 365 days now with my current employer, he filed my PERM at start of 6th year. 
1. Can I switch/trasfer my H1 to new employer now? 
2. How much time I get with new employer? 1 year? 
3. If new employer agree to file fresh PERM, I am planning to get my PERM filed within 3 months and PERM will be approved 
(assumption) in 7-8 months after filing and 140 can be done in premium, so that I can get 3 yrs from then onwards. Is this 
right strategy?

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Only you would know what is right for you. If the PERM application is withdrawn further extensions may be in jeopardy. A lawyer can guide you based on your facts.
