H1-b extention approval

[MEENU6318]

My i-140 petition pending with uscis

now i am applying h1-b extension in premium processing.

Since my i-140 petition is pending, uscis will approve h1-b extention in premium processing ?

Premium processing has nothing to do with your pending I-140 or any stage of pending GC for that matter. What exactly are you trying to ask?
Are you filing the extension beyond the 6th year based on the approved PERM? If yes, was your PERM filed 365 days prior to the end of the 6th year on your H1B?

I am filing h1-b extention beyond seven years.

Once my I-140 DENIED due to wrong category filing

Now again filed I-140 with correct category

Since my H1-B get expired in May-12, I want to file H1-B in premimum processing.

My understanding is since I-140 IS PENDING THERE SHOULD NOT BE PROBLEM IN GETTING ONE YEATR h1-b EXTENTION

PL. ADVISE IF I AM RIGHT.

You did not answer my previous question. Was your PERM filed 365 days prior to the end of your 6th year on H1B? If no,then you are not eligible for the 7th year extension unless I-140 gets approved. There is a premium processing for I-140 that will get you the result within 15 days. Once I-140 gets approved, you can request a 3 year extension.

You are eligible for 1 year extension based on the pending I-140. But it is not advisable to take a chance. Wait for a month and if you don't get a response on your H1B extension, upgrade it to premium and get the result within 15 days.
