[klkanand]

Hello Rajiv,

Mine is H1-B extension +Amendment case pending with USCIS with RFE response received status.

Extension filed in Apr-12-2018
Visa/I-94 Expired date: Jun-22-2018
RFE Received: Nov-13-2018
RFE responded: Feb-04-2019
240 completion date: Feb-18-2019

Questions:
1. Can i continue work beyond 240 days of my I-94 expiry and wait for USCIS decision?
2. Does 240 rule applies to Extension+Amendment case?

1. No
2. Of course, what else would it apply to?
