An extension may be filed no more than 180 days prior to the current expiration date of your authorized H-1B status. The petition should be filed with the California Service Center.

Re: question on applying for h1b extension

Dear Inquirer:

An employer may file an I-129H Petition up to 180 days prior to the employment commencement date. The location of the place of employment controls the filing location, which may not necessarily be the employer's headquarters location.

Please email us at [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

Re: question on applying for h1b extension

I believe the earliest is 90 days prior to expiration. As for the service center where the renewal application should be sent, the instructions on the forms should indicate which one, but in your case it's most likely the California service center.
