My H1B 6 year period expires on March 31, 2011. I currently work with Company A who filed my Perm last month (Nov 09). I want to move to Company B to be in the same city as my spouse.
I have got a verbal offer from a hiring manager in Company B but because of current hiring situation, their legal firm has told the mgr that they cannot apply for PERM for the next 6 months.

When company B applies for my PERM after 6 months, it will be too late to qualify for 7th year extension. So my q is -> can Company B make use of the PERM filed by Company A to apply for my 7th year H1B extension?

I read in an immigration forum that someone has got 7th year extension based on a previous employer's pending PERM application.

I would like confirmation from a lawyer that this is possible. Thanks
