abbeyk is on a distinguished road
Default H1 Expiry and I140 under approval

Hi
My H1 Visa is about to expire in month of November 2009
Right now I am on bench and looking for projects
It might happen that I might have to go back to India
My labour is approved and I140 is under process.
Employer is ready to continue my GC processing.
If I go back to India and plan to come after I140 approval would it be possible?
Do I get new H1 on I140 approval or it is important for me to get I140 approval before November 2009
Please guide me
Thanks
Abbey

H1 extension can be applied upto 6 months before the expiry of current H1.

If you haven't completed 6 years on H1, you can always extend it as usual.

If you have completed 6 years on H1B, you have to have one of the following to extend your H1B.

1. Labor/Perm was applied at least 1 year back
In this case, your H1 will be extended another year

2. I-140 is approved.
In this case, your H1B will be extended 3 years.

More than likely your I-140 will be approved before November 2009 if it is a reasonably clean case. ( USCIS I-140 processing time has come down drastically)

BTW you don't get an H1 automatically on your 140 approval, your company has to apply for it.
Hope this helps.

Since USCIS started I-140 premium processing service on 06/29/09, you can try and upgrade your pending I-140 to premium processing so you can get a decision on your case within 15 days...When you get your I-140 approval, you can file for a 3 yr H1 extension based on it.
