Hi,
My 6th year H1 is going to expire on Jan 2005. I had applied I-140&I-485
on 11/10/2003 still no word on it . I got my EAD&AP in May 2004.Currently i am out of project and my company says they cant keep me on bench for more than 2weeks with out pay.They are asking me to go back to my offshore in India and work from there. I cant use AC-21 because of my I-140.
My question is
1.How long a person can stay on H1 with out pay, is there any rule?
2.If staying on H1 with out pay is a problem Can i shift to EAD?
3.If i transfer my H1 to some other company, can they be able to apply H1 7th year extension, my current labor priority date is 04/04/03.
4.shall i take the risk of shifting to EAD and join other company?
please give your valuable suggestions.
appreciate your help
thanks
