The first circumstance is if you have filed a Labor Certification application or an I-140 petition a year prior to the expiration of the six-year limitation and the Labor Certification or I-140 petition is currently being addressed. This circumstance may need you to file for a request extension of up to a period of 1 year.

Under this scenario, you may be allowed to extend your H1b visa at 3 year intervals, and this can be made better when you have a H1B Visa Lawyer Coconut Creek by your side.
