MVG Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Friends, Please help me make a decision. I am on H1 for more than 9 years in the USA. I have an approved I-140. My wife is on H1 for more than 6 years in the USA. She has an approved I-140. Let's say, I move to H4 (EAD) and my wife stays on H1. My employer won't withdraw I-140. If my wife loses a job, can I go back to my H1 from H4 using my employer's I-140? Would it prevent me to go back to H1 from H4 because I have exhausted all 6 years? or do I have to start from scratch (i.e. stay out of country for 1 year and get new H1 through lottery)? Trying to figure out, what will be my option if my wife loses a job? Link to comment
shekar11# Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 You can move to H-4 and apply for H-4 EAD. You can come back on H-1 anytime as you have approved I-140. No need to start from scratch. Link to comment

I would like to add clause to this situation. Can he comeback and apply H1 with any employer or the same employer who has applied his recent I-140 ? Link to comment
