I have been in H1B status for nearly six years, and I have a PERM case filed by Company A that has been pending for more than 365 days. Can Company B file an H1B petition for me requesting status beyond six years using the PERM filed by Company A?

Answer

Yes. Generally, any employer may file an H1B for you requesting status in 1-year increments as long as the PERM filed by the other company remains pending. (17.Dec.2024)
