My 8th yr H1B extension was denied few weeks back.
Employer filed MTR and also applied for the 9th yr H1/H4 renewal on premium processing since the 8th year was already getting over.
Now the extension applied through premium processing was approved for Consular processing. But H4 extension was again denied.
My I140 was approved few daysback. And we both do have an EAD valid till end of this year.
Attorney advices not to leave country for H1/H4 consular processing. Since there is a risk of MTR getting rejected and if that happens before coming back, I might be barred for 10 yrs. I'm deeply worried.
Can I switch employer using the AC21 act, ditching the H1/H4 since its getting too complicated to reinstate H1/H4?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
