回复：H1B ６年后file extension

PERM刚批,6年H1-B在这个月末就到期,真是幸运.在此其间在本版上问了很多关于PERM申请的问题,得到了皮匠,863211 和小白兔的详细解答,在此表示诚挚的感谢!

还有3周,6年H1-B就到期,不知道能不能在H1-B到期前延上.下周星期一或二准备把140的申请材料让律师递上去.有三个问题想问一下,

-Ask your lawyer to file the I-140 using premium processing to get it approved in 15 days.

1)现在可不可以申请要H1-B extension 的 prevailing wage?

-Yes. The prevail wage determionation for H1 can be obtained online in one minute at:

 and then, your employer/laywer can file LCA online immediately. So, ask your employer to get the prevail wage determination and file the LCA applicaiton online now. Then, wait for the I-140 approval notice. If you can get I-140 approval before the H1 reaches the 6 year limit, file the H1 extension right away. 

 (如果可以的话,我觉得时间还来的及,否则得转成H4.)

2)如果要转成H-4,是不是H1-B至少要留一天以上的时间,这样才能从H-4再转回成H1-B?还是可以用H1-B到最后一天,只要在H1-B结束前file H1转H4的申请就行?

-At least two to three days to ensure USCIS receive your application and put it into their system.  Discuss yoru situation with your lawyer carefully to ensure everything goes well.

3)我的H1-B在Aug-25到期,想在Aug-23快件邮寄出H1转H4的申请,申请H4起始日期从Aug-26到老婆H1-B到期日期，这样可以吗? (想等到最后一刻,如果来不及file H1-B extension,才想file H1转H4的申请).

-My suggestion is that you had better leave US immedaitely now. Then, you just get the H4 visa to enter US after the I-140 is approved (using the premium processing for the I-140 filing) and then, file the change of status from H4 to H1 with extension for another 3 years beyond the 6 year limit.

I think this is the best way for you to extend your H1 status. Because you leave US before your H1 reaches the 6 year limit and the time of your stay in China is not counted as your H1 time, you are qualifed to extend your H1 beyond trhe 6 year limit with the I-140 approval. I have suggested several people like you to do the same way successfully. So, discuss my suggestions with your lawyer. Good luck!
