No Issues if you return before 180 days of stay. They may or may not ask anything or nothing at all. -
Study for the Test | USCIS

They have started allowing DNA testing as proof of Paternity.
-
They can get the H4 Visa based on your valid H1 STATUS. Are you sure you do not have a combined AP/EAD?
-
This has nothing to do with your visa status.
-
Any potential employer needs to file a new non-cap H1 and get it approved . You are eligible for the remainder option of 5.5 years in H1 status.
-
Once you got the GC, his H4 dependent on your H1 status is gone.

H1B Transfer possible without started working for the initial sponsor?
pontevecchio replied to msr2's topic in H1B : General
Since your H1 Visa is stamped, you are considered cap counted and can change H1 employers. -
B1 visa renewal when green card application is pending
pontevecchio replied to User_456's topic in Visitor Visas
This is a tricky matter. I suspect it is heavily Officer dependent. B2/B1 implies a lack of Immigrant Intent. The GC Application says otherwise. Hence apply and see. Obviously, there may be a question about Immigration petitions in the form and misrepresentation could lead to serious consequences. -
Fresh H1B petition during the 1-year cooling-off period
pontevecchio replied to VishalPP's topic in H1B : General
You can only apply for a fresh H1 in April 2024. Be wary of your employer if he claims otherwise. -

You should discuss your situation with a lawyer. -
AOS filing as H4 visa holder using the EB1 I140
pontevecchio replied to Sankareswari's topic in AOS & CP : General
Since the employer is the same and presumably?the dates are current, you can directly file for AOS if the company still intends for you to join them. You do not even have to be working to file for AOS. Let a lawyer do the heavy lifting in filing the AOS. -
Concurrent filing I-140 and I-485, Can I stay in US?
pontevecchio replied to rajib01's topic in 140/485 Concurrent Filing
Once your AOS is on file, you are legal to stay. For specific guidance talk to your HR/Immigration Lawyer. -
H1B transfer is approved but extension is not approved
pontevecchio replied to Karthikgoutham84's topic in H1B : I-94 Cards
You could leave and return on the existing visa. You could ask your employer for an explanation. You can get a new sponsor. -
It has been mentioned in this website that the act of getting the H1 Visa stamp makes one cap counted and eligible for the total of 6 years in H1 with any employer. The other way of being considered cap counted is working for the initial sponsor first. The OP may well consider consulting the firm of Murthy or any of choice with the relevant facts.
-
Since you have got the visa stamp, you are considered cap counted. Look for a new H1 sponsor.
-
There is no such rule. They can enter within the validity of the visa as long as you are in valid F1 status.

You can apply for citizenship on your own recognizance.

?? How do you know the I-140 is approved?
-
File a Change of status to H4 using form I-539. You are allowed to stay till the status change which may take months. File the H4 EAD with your change of status. file your I-130. The final action dates vs dates for filing may mean you cannot apply for the EAD associated with your I-130. I may be mistaken. If so, file the EAD and AP with your I-130. Too many nuances in your situation and hence involving a lawyer may mean the fastest way possible.

Does A know about the job with B? In any case each petition stands on its own.
