谢谢8老师及时回复!那么:
1. 假设我们在明年2月份开始办理H4,然后等待H4的时间内PERM和I140通过,可以通过取消H4申请来转回原来的H1B而不回国吗?
-Yes, but if your H-4 is approved (sometimes USCIS may not cancel your H-4 application in time), then your H-4 will override the H-1 status. Thus, you need to do the H-1 extension again. Remember, the I-140 must be approved before the 6-year status ends By the way, you may be not able to use the PERM to extend the H_1 beyond the 6-year H1 limit because the PERM should be filed for one year to be qualified for H-1 extension.
2. 假设我们现在开始办理H4,因为我I140已经批准了,那么可以H4和EAD一起办理吗?
-Yes.
这种情况即使明年她和H1B过期了H4还在pending也可以留在美国等待拿到EAD直接回去上班吧?
-Yes.
8老师知道现在大概多久可以完成这两步?
-I don't know due to Covid 19 which makes things unpredictable.
我们现在纠结的是不知道该回国等H1B还是留在这里办H4.
-Because you have approved I-140, I would suggest her to apply for H-4 within US as soon as possible. Had better do it now and use H4 EAD to work. She can continue to work with H-1 status during the H-4 pending.
再次感谢
