Eligibility for 1-year H-1B extension under 365-day rule based on PERM filed on November 1, 2023
Question details
My PERM was filed on November 1, 2023, and my current visa expires on October 10, 2024. Am I eligible to apply for a one-year extension based on the 356-day rule? If so, is July a good month to apply for a one-year extension?
OR do I need to travel back to my Country and apply for an extension after 1st November 2024?
FAQ Transcript
H-1B extensions beyond 6 years are possible through an approved I-140 or a PERM labor certification pending for 1 year. For PERM-based extensions, you can apply before the 1-year mark, but the extension only becomes effective after a full year. For example, if your PERM was filed on November 1, 2023, and your current H-1B expires in October 2024, you could apply for an extension in July 2024. However, the extension would only be effective from November 1, 2024. You may need to leave the country temporarily if there's a gap between your current H-1B expiration and the extension's effective date.

H-1B Grace Period Related Issues
Question details
I have just 50 days left on my H1B grace period, and I need to get an employer to transfer my H1B, or I will be kicked out of the States. My question is, which of the following paths should I choose?
1) I have a Canadian visitor visa, which is for six months, so can I go to Canada if I don't get a job by the grace period?
2) If I don't get an employer should I shift on B1/B2? If I do, how can I come back on H1B? Is there anything else you suggest to keep my H1B active?
FAQ Transcript
1. Sure. If you're not in the US, you can go anywhere. Please review my post on the immigration.com blog and my article in the Economic Times.
2. If you think it will be difficult to find a job for a long time and are okay with returning to school and earning another degree, you should consider CPT an option. If you do not think you'll get a job relatively quickly, you should try the B-1/B-2 option. People have been getting extensions to B-1/B-2.
Joy, Charu, Rena, Ursula and the rest were very patient in answering any questions I had.
Joy was handling my case and she is really good. These guys are the best.
