H4 to H1 with Approved I140

[ashwinkhai]

Hi All,

I was on H1B almost 2 years ago and have an approved I140.  I am currently on H4 and H4 extension (along with Spouse's H1B Extension) is in progress. 

I am considering returning to work. Can any employer file for my H1B with my approved I140? Can this be done in Premium so that i can join work within few weeks?

H4 with I140 approved will be getting an EAD . So I am not sure why you want to move to H1B now.

Nope. If her spouse was having 140 approved then she could apply to EAd but not in her case as stated above.

Anyways H4EAD's future is at stake and we will know better about it on Jan 2nd 2018.
