My petition validity end date is 12 April 2012. I have only 5 months validity. I have below questions. Please HELP.

Is there any possiblity to get Visa expiry date more than 12 April 2012?
Suppose if get visa till 12 April 2011, how many months before I can go to USA FOR applying reneval?
How many months before I have to apply for reneval?
Can I ask my employeer to apply for reneval before I go to USA?
If not, Can I apply immediately after I reach USA or need to work few months before I apply for reneval?
Suppose if my employer apply for reneval and If i don't get approval before 12 April, what will be my condition? Do I need to come back?

If possible please help me to know about complete procedure on reneval and rules.

Waiting for your reply.
