  • L1B - H1B Status Change

    Hi,

    I came to US on L1B visa in Oct 2017 and changed the visa status to H1B in Nov 2019. My H1B visa has an expiry date of Sep-2022, which is 5 years from L1B entry. Now with less than 2 years remaining through visa expiration, I have received an offer from another employer. They can initiate PERM process 9 months since joining, which would leave me 1 year in hand for PERM processing. I have 2 questions:
    1. Given my visa is H1B now, can it be extended for 1 year to complete 6 years since the approval of L1B visa? That would give me extra cushion of 1 year for PERM processing.
    2. What is the typical timeline for PERM processing? I am reading in few blogs that even if PERM is pending with USCIS, H1B can be extended beyond expiration dates.

    Advice and guidance are welcome.

    Thank you in advance.
