ashlearning Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hi All, Any help/suggestions/experts advise is very helpful for me. My I-94 /H1B expired in Nov 2016, my employer filed H1B extension in Oct 2016 and I have not received any response and I am going to hit 240 day rule next week. I just came to know today about this 240 rule and cannot work legally however I can stay in US until I get my approval. My attorney advised to take PTO/vacations which I have accumulated so far(3 weeks). I checked my extension status and it states, my application has been moved to different USCIS processing center.(not sure why & what does it mean to me) My concerns are, 1. What if I did not receive any response from USCIS before i finish my PTO's? 2. Not sure if i can quit my current job( full time) and join the same company immediately? Can I do this while my H1B extension is still pending. I mean can the same employer file a new H1B while the other one from the same employer is under processing? 3. What are the options do I have now in this situation? So that I do not loose my job and status. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance! Ash. Link to comment

nik125 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Wait is only option for you.. Your employer should have filed your extension 6 months before your expiration of h1b. Link to comment
