Hi there,
Here is my situation, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
1. I lost my job today due to a lay off
2. I was working on H1B extension receipt (H1B/I94 expired on 12/31/2019) Employer may revoke the petition soon due to termination
3. I have an approved I- 140 (EB1C)
3. Spouse's H1B extension is in progress (expired on 12/31/2019). She is currently working on visa receipt
Wondering what are the options that I have to legally stay in US. Per my understanding I am out of status since the employment is terminated and the 194 was expired few days ago.
Can I immediately file the H4 COS petition using my wife's visa and continue in US until I get another job? Or do I need to leave the country immediately?
