2. Is there any issue to file in last 11 months of visa expiry?
3. Can I travel (short term in emrgencies) to India if needed when my PERM is in process or after Nov 2012? So does L1 gets renewed after Nov 2012 or I have to wait till Advance parole?

What is more important is what does your job require? The qualifications of EB2 or EB3?

How much of that 6 years experience is with the current company?

5.5 years with current company. But this GC is in regards to new project not my current project.
