本来再有几个月就拿到联邦劳工部的劳工卡了。但丢了工作。现在又找到了工作，并续签了一年的H1签证。但已是H1签证的第六年的第二个月。
一个律师说已经不可能通过劳工卡办绿卡了。现在的签证到期后，也不可能再续签H1签证了。这是该律师的答复。
Alien beneficiaries (who are otherwise eligible for H-1B visa) qualify for H-1B visa status extensions in one year increments when 365 days or more have passed from the filing of any application for labor certification or an EB immigrant petition.
Most recently, the USCIS issued another memo. The memo notes that alien beneficiaries who have a "pending or approved" labor certification application with the Department of Labor or a "pending or approved" I-140 petition with USCIS for more than 365 days are eligible for a seventh-year extension of their H-1B status. In other words, the alien beneficiary must have filed either the labor certification application or the I-140 at least 365 days before the proposed start date of the H-1B renewal in order to be eligible for the seventh year extension. Moreover, the alien must still be in H-1B status at the time that 365 days from the filing of the labor certification application or immigrant petition has run, or else the extension of stay request will be denied.
Theerefore, you are eligible for H-1B extension beyond the six-year limit.
But please remember, extensions are available in one-year increments only until such time as either the labor certification application or immigrant petition is denied (and timely appeals have been exhausted) or an application for adjustment of status is granted or denied.)
So, if you rely on your lable certification application by your old employer, you will be in trouble when that labor certification application is finally denied. Because your old employer is not willing to continue to sponsor you, I am sure your labor certification application will be denied.
但当我问起另一个律师时，她却说我完全可以续签。以为我以前申请过劳工卡，别管批没批，都可以续签。
我实在很迷惑。请高手指点。真心感谢。
