Currently on H4 - Question on H1-B reinstantiation

Recommended Posts

While being on H1-B and working in U.S., my wife moved to H-4 visa (and got her H4-EAD consequently) in her 8th year, with around 7 months remaining on her H1-B visa. (Her green-card was under progress at the time she changed status, and labor was not cleared).

Firstly, Is it possible that she can move back to H1-B (because of extreme case of H4-EAD revocation or some other scenario) ? 

If yes, does it has to be the previous employer only (which leads to the follow up question if the previously filed green-card process can be resurrected from where it was left at) OR can she move to another employer too ?

Thanks for any guidance or help in this regards.

If the GC process from the old employer has stopped, she can't go back to H1. She could only change back to H1 if she has an approved I-140 from the old employer.

The current employer could start her GC process (if it is a job that qualifies for it.)
