My first H1 expire on 15th Jan and my new prospective employer due to carelessness forgot to file for a transfer/extension before that day so applied for a new h1 for me. My H1 approval was denied yesterday. I am here on expired I-94 and out of status. I had hoped to go back to India and get stamping when the approval comes thru.
My wife is here on H1 with the same company from which my H1 was denied.
The company contact said we’ll now asap have to apply for I-140 & 485 so we can get our EAD’s asap and has send my wife list of all docs required. He has an approved labor which he is planning to use for my wife.
What I don’t understand is that how does applying for 140 & 485 help me get in status? I was under the assumption that I cannot join her on the 140/485 application unless I have a valid I-94 which I don’t. So even if they apply for 140/485 it should be only for my wife and it does not help me get into status. I have not asked the company how does applying for 140/485 help me get into status but will try to find out.
Is there some way for me also to join my wife’s green card application without a valid I-94 and if we get our EAD soon I can be in status?
What are my options and how can I get in status immediately?
Is going to India and getting an H4 the only option left for me. Will the consulate in India know that my H1 approval was denied and will it cause problems in getting H4?
I am also studying here so can I try for F1 instead of H4 if H4 is denied? I’m looking for all and any option I can get at this stage.
Please help soon…….
Thanks
