6th year of h1b starting in 6 months. Firm has just initiated GC process. How long does it typically take to file PERM and is there a 365 day rule that it should be filed 365 days prior to H1B expiration? Any exceptions to that rule.

Depends, is the prevailing wage determined?
If not prev wage, 70 days, job ad & cooling 60 days, add another 30 for admin, 6-12 months for perm approval.
If not audited you are good. If audited then situation might differ

6 months? No way on earth you can complete end to end perm process in a big4. Mine started Jan-Feb 2017 and I’m still waiting to get perm approved. It’s been with UCIS for 3.5 months. Not expecting it in another 1.5 months.

And I’m not sure of exceptions. Sorry! Good luck buddy.

6th year starts in 6 months meaning you have a total of 1.5 years? It might take a total of 8-9 months max for perm and 140 approval, from the date of application if the application is EB2 (not fully aware of it will be any different for EB3). After 140, getting extensions on H1 wouldn't be a hassle. You can continue working as long as an extension was filed for and receipt received

Scenario: US visa expired in 2021. Applied for a Canadian tourist visa to hopefully go for H-1B stamping in Canada once they open appointments.
