techspurs Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hello Good Morning, Hope you are all doing well. I have a question and need some suggestions. My 6th year H1B is set to expire 12/31/2016 and my employer hasn't started PERM yet. They are thinking of initiating it at the end of this month or first week of April. I am a little nervous in this regard. They had submitted a prevailing wage back in November 2014, but I am pretty sure its expired. 1) Do I have enough time for receiving an I -140 and possible H1B extension? 2) Is it possible to request DOL to extend the validity of an expired PWD ? I also believe that they haven't done any of the job posting or paper ads. There was a nice article on Murthy's from sometime back- http://www.murthy.com/2011/04/08/filing-labor-certifications-during-sixth-year-of-h1b/ I am just not sure what I might fall under. I do have a couple of months of H1B recapture time that can be used. 3) Would a simultaneous filing of PWD and paper ads get me to a safe zone or is it still an ambitious shot? Your answers and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Link to comment

JoeF Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Does the employer have a lawyer? Why don't you discuss the situation with them? Link to comment
Sheba16 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hi,Appreciate your responses as I am in a crunch moment!! Employer A had initiated my GC process.Perm got approved on 20th Dec 2015 and I-140 was filed on 1 Feb 2016.Unfortunately I was laid off from company A on 23 Feb with my 140 pending.My 6 years of H1B maxes out on 28 Feb 2017.I transferred my H1 to company B and they are again initiating my GC process.If my Perm and i140 applied by company B does not get approved before my max out date,is there any way I can make use of Perm approval from company A for a 1 year extension??
