Valid H1-B visa for I-140 or Labor approval?

[pradeeppawar]

hello,
I am about to complete my 6 years (including recap time) of H1-B, however my Labor petition is still pending, so if my H1-B Expires before my labor and I-140 is approved, can i still apply for a h1-b extension once i have a approved I-140? or i will have to obtain a new H1-B?

Thanks

No, you can extend your h1b after your i140 is approved. But you may have to leave the country and come back after 140 is approved, with new extensions and stamping
