Dee85 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Currently on H1B visa with I- 140 approved (Date: Nov'2012). When my I-140 was approved, I was with Employer A (the I-140 was filed when I was working for Employer A). In July'2016, I switched employers and got a H1B extension. My current H1B expires on July'2019. My wife is on H1B visa as well. 1) If I quit my job or get terminated, do I need to change my status to H-4 visa right away i.e. on my last day at work or I can be on H1B status for 60 days and find another job? 2) Can my I-140 be cancelled or revoked or withdrawn by employer A? Its been approved for 4.5 years now 3) Once I am on H4 visa, can i change back to H1B visa using my approved I-140 (filed by employer A) and get 3 years H1b extension assuming I find an employer willing to hire me? Will i be H1B cap exempt? 4) Will it create any issues changing visa from H1B to H4 visa and back to H1b when I file my I-485 in the future? 5) If my wife gets an approved I-140, then can I apply for H4 EAD?

Thanks Dee 1. You have 60 days to get a new job. 2. No. 3. Yes. You will be cap exempt. 4. No issues. 5. Yes. But you need to convert to H-4 status before you apply EAD. Link to comment
