回复：PERM 一问

H1-B到今年八月满六年,公司准备给办绿卡. HR说PERM必须在H1-B满六年之前的前一年，也就是满5年之前递交，否则不能再递交。

-It is not true. Your employer can file the PERM anytime, but the PERM has to be filed在H1-B满六年之前的前一年 so that your can extend your H1 beyond the 6 year limit if your I-140 is not approved. 

我的理解是：如果满5年之前递交，在6年满之前还没批的话，还可以合法工作。如果象我这样，也可以递交，只是如果再满6年后还没批的话，必须离境。我的理解对还是HR的理解对？

-You are right. If your can not get the your I-140 approved before your 6 year H1 expires, you can not extend your H1 beyond the 6 year limit and thus, you cna to go outside US for one year. One solution is that, you can change your status to another non-immigration status such as F1, H2 etc. (or just leave US) before your h1 reaches the 6 year limit, then change it back to H1 with extension beyond the 6 year limit  (or return to US to extend your H1 beyond the 6 year limit) when your PERM pending is for one year or the I-140 is approved (you can use premium processing to get the I-140 approved in 15 days if the PERM is approved).
