I am planning to leave US for good on 4th October. My company applied for H1 extension for 7th year on the ground that I had my I-140 approval and 365 days passed since labor approval.
The H1 approval notice came for only 2 months (Feb 13th 2001 to April 13th 2001). Point to notice here is that my 6 years of stay on H1 expired on 13th April, 2001. The I-94 issued also expired on 13th April. My company sent all papers again on May 2nd for reconsideration of the date and for a new approval notice till Feb 13th 2002.
No answer from INS yet. Its almost three months. Meanwhile, I am still working here in client site.
My questions are..
1. Am I out of status ?
2. If not, is it legally OK for me to work and earn money till 4th October?
3. Is this I-94 with April 13th date will be enough to leave US on October 4th?
4. I did not plan on filing I-485 or doing GC as I am returning to India permanently. Is it advisable to file it now as a cover? Shall I be able leave the country on 4th October if I file I-485 now?
Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
Regards.
