H4 to H1

[shriss]

Hi 

 

Need information about H4 to H1 status change. Here is my case info.

 

1. H1B expires on 20th of september.

2. Changed status to H4.

 

3. What if I get a good job offer, and I want to go back to H1B, Will I have to wait for new quota or just regular H1B extension with COS(I539).

 

 

 

Thanks

If you have not used the maximum allowed limit of 6 years on H1B an employer can file a cap exempt H1B petition and upon approval you can begin to work immediately.

you can just do a COS..you dont fall in the quota.

No need to wait for new quota. Once your H1 is approved then you will be cap exempt.

Thanks for all the responses.

1. If employer terminated actual H1 petition before and after H4 is filed.

2. what if the actual H1 expired its 3 yrs term (completed only 3 among 6) and then filed H4.
