Pending approval on PERM , L1 + H1 Approved for 6 years and 10 months

[baghya143]

Hi,

 

I have filed my GC on July 8th 2013(PERM Pending and priority date is Jul 8th 2013) and  140 can be applied only after Perm approval from dol.

 

I was here on L1 - B from Oct 2007 till DEC 6th 2012

My company applied for a change of status to H1B in 2012 , which i got on Dec 6th 2012 and got approval till Dec 2014 .
 

If I calculate my 6 year term with L1b+ H1, the 6 year period is completing on Feb 2nd 2014(excluding the days stated outside the country on vacation). 

 

So mean while until i get my Perm approved and I-140  can i continue my stay in USA with Current H1 ( stay period is more than 6 years after feb 2014 )

 

Details of my entry and exit:

 

L1- B -  10/28/2007  to 11/18/2008 - 18 days outside

L1-B  -  12/07/2008 to  05/27/2009 - 53 days outside

L1 B  -   07/19/2009  to 03/01/2011 - 27 days outside

L1 B  -   03/27/2011 to 12/05/2012 

H1B(Change of Status as part of 2012 H1B quota)  - 12/06/2012 - till date

So I was outside the country for 97 days.

 

Green card Perm filing date /priority date - July 8th 2013.

My Perm was filed and priority date is July 8th 2013. If i don't get my I-140 till Jan 2014, can I stay beyond Jan 2014. So that I will have buffer time to get my I-140 approval.
 

 

Could anyone help me, Beacuse I am forseeing my Perm approval will take beyond Jan 2014. Incase of luck i might get soon.

 

But please advice.

Appreciate your help

Thanks in advance
