Perm filling after maxing out on H1b

Greetings,

Hope everyone reading this is doing well!

I am currently employed on a H1b visa which gets maced out in 60 days.

I got an email from my organization that they will start my GC process now.

Note: I will be working in India after maxing out

Question 1: Can my employer file for my PERM without me being physically present in United States?

Question 2: Will I be able to extend my H1b after my labor gets approved? (From india)
Or will I have to file for a fresh H1.

Any other option/suggestions that you can provide.

Appreciate your time and patience to read through my issue.

Question 1: Can my employer file for my PERM without me being physically present in United States?

  • YES

Question 2: Will I be able to extend my H1b after my labor gets approved? (From india)

  • YES, but leave the country before H-1B is maxed out, at least few days before it is maxed out.
