H1-B Revoked Change of Status

[vpknox]

My H1-B will be revoked on July 19. I will be out of status from then.

 

My only option in this short time is to

 

Change my H1-B status to B2.

 

I have following questions regarding my status change.

 

1. Will  I will be legally authorised to stay in US once I receive recipt for B2? (couple days from applied date)

 

2. If I find an employer that is willing to sponsor me in a week from I applied to B2, is it possible to apply for H1 immediately?

 

3. If so how long it takes approximately for my approval? (can I use premium)

 

4. I understood that I have to find an employer to sponsor me before my B2 is approved (or during pending).

 

 

what are all the legal risks involved in this?

 

any other options that I can choose based on all your experience?

H1 revocation is irrelevant.

You are out of status from the day of layoff, not from the day of H1 revocation.

Forget H1 revocation. It is completely irrelevant for you.

The day of layoff is what matters.
