The H4 EAD may not be around for much longer. The current administration wants to cancel that.

Reopen would only help if there is new information that wasn't known before. As for the other questions, it seems you haven't fully understood what I said. You aren't considered counted in the quota, and because of that a new petition with this or another employer would only be possible on April 1, 2019, for a start date of Oct. 1, 2019. As an aside, I really don't understand why people who graduated from a US university go with shady consulting companies (EVC is a recipe for denials). US universities regularly have job fairs where real companies look for new employees (my employer had a booth just last week at a job fair at the local public university, and I've been told there was a line of people being interested in a job.) Assuming of course that you went to a real university and not to one of those shady 4-th tier institutions that are more accurately described as diploma mills.

And #1 is mandatory if the person leaves the employer. The employer is required by law to inform USCIS if the person on H1 no longer works there.

Well, once your OPT expires you have a 60 day grace period to leave the country. A new H1 can be filed by an employer in April 2019, for a start date of Oct. 2019. That's pretty much it. Oh, and the H1 is gone because the client position it was filed for has to exist all the way until you start working on the H1. If the client changes before the H1 starts the basis for the H1 is gone.

To expand on that, the grace period is 60 days or until the expiration of the I-94, whichever is shorter. If the I-94 expires in October and the H1 gets denied in November, there is no grace period because the I-94 has expired.

That H1 is likely gone.

Well, your question implied that you are going to join B: "And after coming from India, Can i join to new company B?? " Please don't think we can't figure this out... It's all "totally hypothetical", except that it isn't... The officer at the Consulate will know that you have an approved H1 from B.

The officer of course asked the questions for a reason. These are not random questions. It is sad that you don't seem to understand that. The context is important, and the context likely is that OP's father had just seen his grandson.

The old employer iis required by law to inform USCIS that you no longer work there. That is an administrative thing and has no effect on you or your I-94.

You are not cap-counted when the petition is selected. You are only cap-counted when the petition is approved.

That's obviously a website issue, looks like the database query to get the service center name failed. It is irrelevant for your case.

You would need to get stamping with the approval notice from B.

You'd have to ask the company if they help tou in case of a denial...

If you are outside the US you are not in any status, by definition. So the rules about F1/OPT don't apply when you are abroad.

The entrepreneur H1 that you seem to be talking about is designed for startups that have gotten venture capital. It is not for fly-by-night consulting companies or mom-and-pop shops. The VC companies will make sure that there is a Board of Directors, to keep tabs on the money they are investing. In the dot-com era, way too many startups wasted their VC money on fancy office furniture (office chairs for over $1k a pop come to mind... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeron_chair) or big parties. If you don't know what a Board of Directors is or does or who usually sits on it it indicates that you haven't educated yourself about how startups work (I've worked in startup companies for most of my career.)
