Can I move to a different H1B employer after extending status beyond 6 years based on a pending PERM application?

Answer

Yes, the time beyond the six years based on the pending PERM is given to any H1B filing – not just those filed by the employer who filed the PERM. But, there are some risks here to consider that would best be discussed in a consultation. (09.Feb.2015)
