Hi,

I came to US on L2 in 2007, Hence obtained EAD mean time had applied for H1B for the 2007 quota.

Now i have both EAD ,and H1 Approved currently not working for either of visas due to personal reasons.

My Queries are ,

1.How do i know what visa i am on ? is it L2 or H1 ? i tried calling USCIS but they seem not that helpful.
2.I would prefer to take up job on EAD, how long can i stay on EAD (This is incase i am still on L2 status as per immigration)
3.If i turn out to be on H1 status as per immigration,how long can i stay without payroll on H1 ?

Any help in this is highly appreciated, Thanks for your patience.

Thanks,
Basa V

it depends on if you received I-94 with H1 approval.
2.I would prefer to take up job on EAD, how long can i stay on EAD (This is incase i am still on L2 status as per immigration)
L2 expiration or EAD expiration whichever comes first.
3.If i turn out to be on H1 status as per immigration,how long can i stay without payroll on H1 ?
You have to work to maintain H1 status.
