60 days remaining for 6th year to expire and awaiting PERM approval

Here is my situation:

I am on H1B in my 6th year which ends on Aug 7th 2014. I am waiting for my PERM approval which is due any time now, but at the same time I am short by 13 days for the 365 days period to do an extension while waiting for PERM approval. So as a precaution I was thinking to cover the 13 days by going to India and come back, but if I do that I'll have to get my visa stamped.

Below are my questions:

1. If I am going for an interview on June 7th 2014 it leaves only 60 days for my visa to end, does this short duration come into consideration while approving the visa? I mean does that clearly give out the intention that I am out of US to cover the 365 days period and hence there are chances to deny or hold (221g) the visa?

2. Has anybody done something like that before and have got their visa approved even with a short period remaining on the 6th year?

It will be of great help if someone can share their experience.

Thanks in advance!
