H1-B extension for 7th year 6 months prior to Max out date
Hello Members,
My Employer has filed PERM on June, 2015 but i got denied in Dec, 2015. My Employer has submitted "Request for reconsideration" to Certifying Officer (CO) on Jan, 2016. My current I-94 is expiring on Sep, 2016.
Q1. Can i file H1 B extension for 7th year 6 months prior to current I-94 expiring date?
Q2. If yes, i am planning to file extension in premium so what are the chances of getting approval or it goes to RFE?
Q3. If i am allowed to file extension for 7th year prior to 6 months and H1 extension get approved in case, What will happen if "Request for Reconsideration" got rejected and H1 extension got approved?
I know there is 365 days rule to file 7th year extension but i am not sure if i have to wait 365 days from priority date to submit H1 extension or i can file extension 6 months prior to current I-94 expiring date in my case.
Please suggest.
