NHR Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi, I am on L1B VISA right now. The VISA expiration date is Nov 2020 however I complete my 5 years in Nov 2019. I can re-capture the days I was out of country for another 4 month so max till March 2020. My I-94 is valid till March 2020 too. My spouse's EB1 I-140 was approved with a priority date of Feb 2019. We don't know when this would become current for us to apply for Adjustment of Status and it may take 2 years also. My spouse is on H1B valid till July 2020, which can then be extended. However I won't be able to extend my L1B beyond March. My questions are: 1. Can I move to H4 with EAD from L1B and in the event that H4 EAD is revoked or not extended beyond July 2020, can I go back on L1-B and use the days I have remaining on L1B to max it out to 5 years? 2. Also does any of this lead to a break in my employment? Thanks! Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 To go back to L1 would require you to do k abroad for a year. The EAD is usually processed only once the H4 is approved. So there my be a gap. Link to comment
