Hi,
I am new to this forum, and would greatly appreciate your opinion on my situation:
My employer has filed I-485 for me a month ago. Now I am getting married and we plan to file I-485 for my husband after that. I know that as long as he is out-of-status for less than 180 days, he can do it. Now he might have an issue with this:
He was working on company A (H1B) and got laid off a few months ago.
Then after two weeks he found a new job with company B, that has filed
for H1 Transfer for him. He got laid off again, after a couple of
months, but his H1 transfer is still in process.
He needs to know if he is out of status the moment he got laid off
from company A, or when he was laid off from company B. One attorney
says that he is still in status as long as his H1 transfer is still
pending, since he does not have to work for the company that filed it.
Any opinion on this is highly appreciated!
