Hello All,

Here is below my case details 

1)  valid H1-B VISA Stamping until  July 2018 

2) Passport & I-94 Expired on Sep 16 2017  -> I have applied for Passport renewal and received new passport on May 07 2017 

3) H1-B I-797 Expired on June 1 2017  -> Employer A had filed for H1-B Extension by  May 30 2017 

4) I have received RFE on H1-B Extension on Sep 20 2017 , I have got an opportunity from a better firm and so  have filed for an H1-B transfer from Employer B on Oct 10 2017 and last week got RFE with asking to first answer to the RFE on Employer A H1-B petition. 

As I am still working for Employer A , I have requested them to answer RFE and they have agreed to do it before Dec 20 ( deadline for answering RFE) .

But my concern is ,

> As my  H1-B  I-797 has ended on June 1 2017 , will  the 240 day rule be applicable to my process and would I be deemed to be Out of Status by Feb 1 2018 if in case I do not hear back from the USCIS by that time 

> As my  I-94 Expired on Sep 16 , will the 180 day rule be applicable to my process  and would I be deemed to be Out of Status by March 1 2018  if in-case i do not have a valid 1-94 by that time. 

Can any one please help with this as I  have a family to support and planning to prepare to travel back to my home country in case of any adversities.

 

Thank you
