My case is little unique I guessed,
My H1B six years expired on July 01, 2008 (After recapturing out of country days as well). To be remain in staus my lawyer put me on F2 visa (pending) before H1B expired. My wife is on F1 visa. My labour applied in September 2007. So I could not able to apply for 1 H1B extension as it does not pass 365 days. Now, July 23, 2008 I got my I-140 approved.
Question I have:
1. Can I apply for H1B extension for 3 years as I-140 got approved?
If yes, do I have too step out of country and re enter?
2. If not then what options I have to be back on H1B visa as quickly as possible?
Please guide me, I am very much confused at this point.
