Just got Laid off.
I'm on H1 visa and will expire this July.
I have EAD which is valid till Aug'10 which I didn't use yet (My wife used her EAD to work).
I also have AP valid till Oct'09 which I used last year Nov to get in.
My 485 was applied in Aug'07.
All the above through the same company through I got laid off today.
So what are my options?
Do I need to find a sponser to transfer my H1? Don't think I'll get one in this economy.
Since its been 6 months after my 485 is applied, Is it legal to stay till I find a new job even if my ex-employer cancel my H1 immediately (He didn't say anything about this. He is going to talk to attorney and let me know)?
What are the problems I will face if my 140 is cancelled? How long it will take to get an RFE from INS if its cancelled immediately?
Please Let me know.
Thanks for your help.
