Is less than the 365 period before which my H1B expires (technically the 6 years end in Oct 2021 but the extension was only for 5.5 years). Will I not get an extension since it’s unlikely I will get an I-140 approval before March 2021? Please advise!

if your 6 yrs end in Oct 21.. then why you need I140 in March? btw PwC screwed my immigration very bad along with some other folks.

Can you please elaborate?

Because my extension was only until March 2019?

Your firm can claim that 6 months remaining as well as any period you were out of the country and apply for an extension for that amount of time. Meanwhile, hope your Labor and i-140 gets approved.

Hi fellow 🐠,
I have a valid I797 till September 2022 but my I-94 is about to expire in Sep 2021 and i have travelled internationally last year and i see the I-94 printed on my old passport in line with my VISA stamp as Sep 2021. Would i be out of status in September 2021 and how can i avoid it? I have reached out to the local CBP office and they mentioned it is in line with my VISA/Passport Expiry.
