What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
Hi,
I am currently working on H1 visa. My current project ends on Dec-19. Given that we are in holiday season, my employer is not able to find any open position for my profile. However, my employer has a couple of leads which could be finalized in January. In the mean time, in order to maintain status, my employer is suggesting that I apply for a change of status from H1 to H4. The plan is to reactivate my H1 once an open position is finalized. In regard to the same, I have the following questions:
1. Is there a premium processing option for H1 to H4 change of status
2. When should the package for H1 to H4 change of status reach USCIS office. Should the package reach USCIS office on Dec-20? Given that Dec-20 is a Saturday, would it be within the law if the package reaches the USCIS office on Dec-22.
3. When my H1 to H4 change of status application is still pending, could the employer reactivate my H1. If yes, should we withdraw the H1 to H4 change of status application.
4. Can my employer reactivate my H1 under premium processing.
5. Can a different employer reactivate my H1.
6. After I get the receipt number for H4 to H1 change of status, could I start working or should I wait for approval.
7. If H1 application gets approved before the H1 to H4 application is processed/withdrawn, what would be my visa status.
Your responses to these questions are sincerely appreciated. Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks!
