H1B to H4 Urgent

[kranthi111]

Hi,

My H1B started from 01 Oct 2014 and I got notice from my employer that I will be laid off in end of November. In this case as I don't have job after Nov I have to shift to H4 through change of status.

 

So my questions are

1) Who should file change of status? Me or my employer?

2) If I apply for change of status from H1B to H4 at the end of November, it will take 2-3 months 

    to process and in the mean time

  a) can I stay in US till my H4 gets approved?

  b) I wont be getting any paystubs after November and is it ok to stay here without paystubs as

      I filed for change of status to H4 which is during the processing period?

 

Please answer the above questions and suggest if I have any better plan.

 

Thanks
