Please help with any info on my situation

My situation is tricky here. I would really appreciate any inputs.

My six years validity for H-1 B will be complete in Mid Dec 2007. I filed my Labor on March 5th in Atlanta. As you know the ATLANTA center is really really slow and I am still waiting on my Labor approval decision. I thought of applying 140 through Premium Processing. Now USCIS suspended premium processing for 140s. My question is:

Whay will be my situation if my Labor gets approved and 140 is pending as of dec 2007 as the LC is filed with less than 365 days remaining on H1 validity? Will I be out of status or can I apply for 7th year extension.


Please guide me through the process and any scenarios. Thank you in advance.

It was intially hard to predict when USCIS would resume PP for I-140. But now that they have stopped taking in 485 applications, they should be in a position to estimate their work load and provide guidance soon.
