Ask your employer to start a green card process for you.
You can get 1 year extension beyond 6 year cap, if your PERM has been pending for more than 365 days or PERM is approved but I-140 is pending.
You can get 3 years extension beyond 6 year cap, if your I-140 has been approved.
Hi Saurabh,
I would like some more clarity on this with the help of an example. Lets assume my fresh H1B gets approved and stamped by Dec 2016.
1st step: Get prevailing wage determination for the offered GC position
2nd step: Recruitment - post the job opening for 60 days
3rd step: Quiet period - review the submitted resume from step 2 and see if any qualifies. If yes, then that’s end of GC process for next 6 months
4th step: File PERM and lock your priority date. This can take 8 months in regular processing but if audited then it can take 18-20 months
