FAQ: H-4 EAD rules change and H-1B extensions rules change
Hello Rajivji,
I am on h1 and my wife is on h4ead. Recently I have heard a lot about revocation of h4ead rule. I know that this is yet to be finalized and nothing concrete. What I would like to know is if everything goes on time for this rule then approximate how much time we have before this becomes law?
Below is details on the same law.
RIN: 1615-AC15
Removing H-4 Dependent Spouses from the Class of Aliens Eligible for Employment Authori
While I was going through the site I found below rule and would like to know more about this.
RIN: 1615-AC13
Strengthening the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program

Hi Rajiv Ji,
Happy New Year!!!
I have completed 6.9 years on L1A and move to H4-EAD based on my wife’s approve I-140. Now H4 EAD may go away.
1. What option do I have to stay here and continue working (even after gap of a few months if needed) or I need to go out of US for at least 1 year and come back.
2. I have already completed my 6.9 years. Can company apply H1B for me in April 2018 and I can come back to US after spending 1 year outside. I believe H1B can be applied only 6 months prior to joining that job. But I can’t start working from Oct 1st as I already completed 7 years without pending GC labor/ I-140. In that case I can apply H1B only in April 2019 and start working from October 2019?
3. Can company file GC for me now and apply H1B in April 2018 and I can use that H1B when my I-140 approved?
4. If my I-140 approved, can I get H1B without subject to lottery? I was always on L1A, never worked on H1B.
Thank you Rajiv ji,

As DHS has put agenda on their site as
"Strengthening the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program"
which says to
"Revise the definition of employment and employer-employee relationship to help better protect U.S. workers and wages".
What is your interpretation of employer-employee relationship?
