Hello Friends,
About First Step of Green Card, My PERM: 9089 has been filed with the DOL on 27-Sept-2016.
But my current H1B Visa is valid till 24-July-2017 (which is approximate 10 months from filing)
My Company will be filing my I-140 on premium processing for me & my family.

Please suggest how much time labor 9089 / Perm process can take? I heard it should be approved within max 6 months.
Considering max time of 6 months (Perm / Labor 9089), and 1 month of I-140 processing, i am expecting these to be approved by max April 2017.

Now I have 3 months left to file my H1B extension... Is this good approach, or will you suggest me to go India for 2 months 5 days, so that my perm filing date would be older than 1 year, and i can atleast get 1 year of extension (if in case Perm or i-140 takes longer time).. I am avoiding my india travel, as i will also need to go for stamping.

Need your suggestion. Thanks

My PERM was filed in late February this year and approved in mid-late June. PERM was filed from California if that helps. There is an official website that outlines the current wait times somewhere(I cant find it right now but if you search you should find it).
