Question: I am on H-1-B. If applied for GC through Family Based 4 category (brother/sister) can I apply for extension of my stay after my 6 yrs H-1 period once the I-130 approved? Or this extension request is applicable only on Employment Based processing after Labor clearance?

Spar & Bernstein: You cannot. This extension is available only to employment-based applicants.
