H1 H4 Help-Urgent

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If you still have the H-4 relationship with your spouse, you should be allowed to travel back to the US under H-4 status despite having an approved H-1B petition. Using your H-1B approved petition once another employer is interested in sponsoring you for a new H-1B is another matter. If attempting to do it in the States, you would have to request the change in status from H-4 to H-1B. The question may come up of whether your present H-1B approval is sufficient for you to escape the need for a H-1B cap number if you will be sponsored by a cap subject organization and are not subjecting yourself to the annual quota restriction of H-1B visas. You may have to defend the bona fides of the H-1B filing  including giving the reason that you did not take up employment with the H-1B petitioner.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

H1b change of employer + extn of stay petition pending more than 240days

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Although not 100% clear, it appears that a H-1B change of employer petition may not be treated the same as a regular extension by the same employer, and may not be subject to a 240 day limit on employment authorization. If you wish to be safe, your employer can always request premium processing on form I-907 with USCIS.
