***URGENT**** H1B Extension for 7th year - No Receipt received or any Status!!!

[prettygul 0]

Respected Sir/Madam,

My spouse employer processed Green card for him and with god's grace labor and I-140 got approved with out any issues, however they applied for H1B extension for next 3 more years on 20th Dec 2010 with premium processing at Vermont Center (Shipping Tracking details shows its reached on 20th Dec 2010), but unfortunately till date we have not received Receipt number or any status on his extension. Our visa/I-94 got expired on 06th Jan 2011 itself (completed 6 yrs on H1B).

Attorney is saying we can stay for another 240 days more with out any issues. Can I know what could be going on tentatively at USCIS? Why we have not received the Receipt number or any status? When Labor and I-140 got approved so easily then why Extension is getting delayed? What we can do next?

My only fear is if its get denied then we will not be having much time to sell off House and vehicles...................... Appreciate your immediate response.

Thanks in advance.

Not following this, you say Green-card, and then H-1B extension?

Does he have a green-card?

If have green-card, then no visa or EAD needed.

I-140 and labour does and your H1 extension are seperate, just coz I-140 and labour got approved does not mean his H1 get approved right away.
