One of my friend saw his I485 denial in tracker today. He still has his H-1B valid from the same employer A who filed 140 and 485. Currently he is with employer B working on EAD. His wife is also working on EAD.
what happens to his and his wife's status. Can he go back to his employer A on H1-B. Does his employer A need to file any form with USCIS to come back on H-1B. Also, can the current employer B file his H-1B transfer. Not sure if his current employer does H-1B or not. His 140 which was previously approved was denied after an RFE 6 months back. He moved out of that company after 140 is denied thinking that if he changes the company his 485 will still be ok. The reason for I140 denial was that the company closed their branch where the LC was done originally in 2005. Currently he is in a different location than his LC location.
He yet to know the 485 denial reason, but I am thinking because of underlying 140 denial. What are his options. can he appeal for his 485? can he start his GC with some Employer B or Employer C and still retain his priority date.
Also, should his wife stop working? if so, from what date? Any experiences appreciated.
