In a crappy situation. I don't trust Fragomen anymore.

* Fragomen took their sweet time to file PERM. Didn't manage to file it until 2 months into 6th year.

* PERM got approved. Following i-140 also got approved. Not born in India/China, so my priority date is current.

* Current i94 expires in 1 month. No further recapture available.

* Fragomen filed an H1B extension under PP with the approved i140. Got an RFE. No details on why yet, and likely won't know for another 2 weeks.

Any one else tried extending H1B with approved i140, current PD and perm filed < 365 days?

Should I plan on leaving the country?

    When you have i140 approved you should get h1 approval beyond 6 years irrespective of when i140 was approved.

    But there are some tricky situations like when you file for h1 extension but pd is current then you might get a rfe or only one year extension.

      365 days applies only to Perm and not for I140. The moment you have approved I140 you are eligible for extension beyond 6th year.

      There is no document specifying excactly. All you need is an approved i140 or even if your perm is pending for 365 days you can get 7th year extension.

    Don’t trust company lawyer to do anything, they do not represent you. They just represent the company. So if they didn’t act on ur case it’s not priority unless you raise concerns. You have be on top of all renewable, for one of my frnds the lawyers forgot she needed renewal n she went out of status for a month . It didn’t fuck her immigration but did cause issues

      As I understood it, even with an AOS, I cannot work until a EAD is granted. This may push things further than my current H1B expiry.
