H1 to H4 EAD after 7th year extension based on 140, Will I be counted under quota for H4 to H1 COS in future?

[sreesony]

Hi,

I worked with my Employe for more than 6 years and got H1b extension for 3 more years based on approved 140. For maternity related reasons, I changed my status to H4 EAD and resigned. I still have 2.5 years of H1b left in my approval notice. 

1. If the Employer withdraws the 140 , Will I be able to change status from H4 to H1b in future without being counted against quota ?
 

Thanks in advance. 

 

Ps : 

Based on the Rule published in Jan 17 2017  , 

The new rule amends existing automatic revocation rules to prevent I-140 petitions that have been approved for 180 days or more from being automatically revoked solely because the employer withdraws the I-140 petition or the employer's business has terminated. These approved I-140 petitions will remain valid for certain H-1B extensions;

In any case the 2.5 years is available to you even if the I-140 is revoked now.
