Seeking opinions about my H1b extension eligibility beyond 6 years. Thanks in advance for anyone who has similar experiences.

Citizenship: China
Priority Date: Oct 2016, EB2, become current in May 2021, From Company A
H1B max our date: March, 2022
Employment: Currently works at Company B, and want to switch to Deloitte (Company C)

Am I still eligible for extension beyond 6 years? Deloitte immigration team says yes but attorney says no...very confusing. Thank you!

OP - EY1 is completely right. I don’t think you can go to Deloitte at this moment. It is too risky

However my practice lead said if I commit to stay he’ll adjust my position now for me to submit my I-485 without a go-ahead letter from the HR. I haven’t committed anything yet cuz I wanna see what my best options are so far.

If your I-140 is approved you should be eligible for unlimited extensions. I maxed out my H1B in March 2021. Got another 3 years...only because my I-140 was filed by my previous employer.

I could...that’s my backup plan😌

I think there are some requirement saying that if your PD is current more than 1 year, you have to file 485 in order to extend your H1B beyond the 6 year. Also, Deloitte won’t start the GC until you are with the company for 2 years based on the policy

My PD just became current this month, and Deloitte immigration team has reviewed and approved my documents before they issued the offer. I think Deloitte is assuming at least I can extend 3 years this time, and even tho they have 2 years tenure time but by the end of the 3 years I should already file a new PERM. However the attorney says something completely different. Thank you for sharing the information!

Friends, are you ready to take the 'good person' test?

1) How many lies have you told in your lifetime?

2) How many times have you stolen anything regardless of value?

3) How many times have you looked at a person with lust?

4) How many times have you used 'Jesus' or 'Christ' in place of a flithy cuss word?

The bad news is we all fail the test. The good news is that Jesus paid the price for us, so that if we repent and trust in Him we can enter beautiful Heaven and avoid horrendous Hell.
