H1B:1/26/14到期
PERM P/D: 7/16/13
去年到今年初回国两个月,回来后律师1/23递交了H1延期申请到3/30.结果收到RFE,询问在前一次H1延期申请里recapture时间的问题。原来猪头律师把我在06年OPT和H1中间的gap回国的三个月时间也给申请recapture了。问题是USCIS之前已经把那三个月批了,批准到期日就是1/26/14.现在律师说暂时不回复RFE,法律规定只要在之前过期之前交了延期申请,就视为自动延期,至少可以当作延期到3/30,希望PERM赶快批,然后交140,之后就可以再延期H1了。
-Had better response to the RFE and explain the situation and request the extension to the correct date, at least not hurt you to respond to the RFE.
请问,律师说的靠谱吗?只要不回这个RFE就可以当成自动延期了?
之后如果140批了,不会对以后的申请有不好的影响?
-As long as you get the H-1 extension and you get the I-140 approval before the extended H-1 expires,, you will be fine to file the H1 extension again beyond the 6 year H1 limit.
另外,老公准备EB2降级到EB3,重新交140,并同时交485,我应该可以同时递交,对吗?
-Yes.
如果申请EAD,就算H1过期了,也不要紧,对吗?
-Correct.
如果我自己的H1到期来不及等到我的140批的话,我是不是应该在3/30之前交转身份的材料?
-If you file I-485 before that date, you don't need to change your status. But you need to stop working until you get the EAD. Otherwise, you need to file change of status application if you can not file I-485 before you H1 expires.
还是需要离境?还是不用转,因为在等485批?
另外,如果因为律师出错而造成什么后果,我是否没有权利起诉,因为他只和公司有雇佣关系?
