If an I-140 has been approved and you are waiting for your priority date to be current, you can apply for a post-6th year extension of H-1B status. In addition to all of the regulation H-1B extension documents, your employer needs to submit the Notice of Approval of your I-140.

Yes, but for the 7th year extension, the PERM application must be filed before the beginning of the 6th year and must be pending for at least 365 days.
