PERM extension after 180 days

[kv_ajay]

A startup in the area filed for my PERM and it was approved in June 2010. Right now, they are in a mess about their tax returns and reauditing with their CPA and it seems that they will not be able to provide tax statements for this year end.

That will cause the PERM to expire without filing I140 since PERM expires in Dec. Is there anyway for us to file extension for the PERM ? More than 180 days...

I think they should still be able to file your I-140 in regular processing by not including the latest tax papers (include previous years). Since it takes a few months to process I-140 under regular filing, they will likely issue an RFE asking for tax documents. Hopefully, by then they are done with their audit and would be able to reply to the RFE with tax documents or provide explanation on why they cannot provide the requested documents but they can provide any other document that proves their ability to pay. That way, you won't lose your approved PERM.
