Hitting cooling period and PERM process started. What are possibilities?

[raj4dotnet]

Hi,

 

I have completed 5 years in USA on L1B visa. My employer applied for H1B 2015 cap and it is approved . My 797A petition get approved till 18 June 2016. Also my employer started PERM process under EB-2 category.

 

1. Can I get extension on H1B?

2. How much possibility of getting I-140 approved before June 2016?

3. If I leave USA in June 2016 and stay away for 1 yr for cooling period. Can I re-enter in USA on same approved H1B 2015 cap?

4. If I can re-enter in USA base on H1B 2015. How much period I can stay in USA?

5. What will happen to PERM process between cooling period?

 

Thanks

1. No.

3. No. You need to go under cap if your I-140 is not approved by then.

4. Without approved I-140 zero days.

5. It will still be processed.
