My firm just filed my PERM application. My H1B expires (6 years) in June 2023. Should I be worried ? Assuming that PERM takes 6-8 months and they do a premium processing on i-140 by lets say Feb/March, does that look like sufficient time? Also will I be elligible to get a 3 year H1B extension versus 1 year ?

If i140 is not approved on time, you may have to go out and then come back once approved. You should be able to get three year extensions.

My H1B reaches it’s max by Nov 2022; same firm filed my PERM in the month of October last year and I got my PERM approved in the month of May this year and I was I140 approved by month of July or August (premium processing) but still waiting for my extension to be submitted..
I think you have similar timelines so you should be good with respect to my experience but be ready to move back to your home country for an year if it comes to that!
PS: There is a concept of extending the H1B by additional one year if the PERM application was submitted before the last year of your H1B and I believe you can try that route as well if your PERM or I140 takes more than your end date.

I received an approval for H1B transfer but in my application it looks like they used the wrong I-94 number and last date of entry.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID.

Also, anyone have experience with EU Blue card.

I have seen most of companies need German speaking candidates.
