Hi,
My H1B from previous employer is valid until Nov 15 2003 and so is my I-94. However, owing to my wife's passport expiration date, she was given a I-94 validity until Sep 15 2002. Now, my current employer has applied for my H1-B transfer and for my wife's I-94 new validation on May 22nd 2002 and they are still being processed.
Just yesterday, I have been offered a job by yet another employer which is quite important as far as my career is concerned. However, my current H1-B and my wife's I-94 validation requests are still being processed by INS.
Will such a situation of mine still enable me to shift jobs? If yes, is there anything I need to be cautious about? If no, what do I need to do to make it possible?
Thank you for your response in advance.
