[andy_jss]

Hi

I am on L1B working for company A and company B is ready for apply H1B via preimum processing. My wife is also working for different employer on EAD.

Q1 - Can i work for company B immedatley after H1B is approved(not samped) or i need to wait for H1B stamping on my passport.

Q2- Can my wife still work on EAD if my status is changed to H1B. If not then what is the best way to go futher with my H1B stamping.

Q3 - Can we both apply together for the H1B via premium processing.

Q4 - Is premiumn processing is indenpended to anual quota of H1B petition

Thanks

1. The quota is over and hence the company cannot file this year.

2. Not on L2 EAD if you change to H1.

3. Yes subject to the cap being available and a suitable employer files.

4. NO
