Hello,
I got laid off in December 2024 (H1B stamping valid until Sept 2025 and i140 approved for over a year now). I looked for jobs in the 60 day grace period and unfortunately didn't find any, so I decided to move back to India and look for jobs from here.
Questions:
1. If I find a new employer, can I apply for extension, do the H1B stamping in India and then re enter the US on my new new stamp?
2. My wife hasn't worked in the US but has her H4 EAD approved until Sept 2025 (Same as my H1B stamp date), so If i apply for my H1B extension will she get only H4 extension or H4 EAD extension? (I read somewhere that she will only get H4 VISA and after re entering the US we will have to file for H4 EAD again from scratch using the new H1B visa)
3. Will my wife's H4 EAD situation be different if I find a job before my H1B expires (Sept 2025) vs finding a job post my H1B expiry date?
