Hi,
I had applied for H1 extension in July 2007 and although I had only 2 years left on my H1, I was issued H1 for a period of 3 years running upto July 2010. I have filed my labor petition in June 2008 and still awaiting a response. Now, since my 6-year term expires in July 2009, I requested to file an H1 extension with my employer. The company attorney tells me that I dont need to file an extension as my labor is pending for more than 365 days and I already have H1 period upto July 2010. Is this correct? Is the attorney wrong in saying this and should I force the employer to file for H1 extension. Please advise.
Thanks,
D
