  1. Employment Status: My H1-B petition was not selected in the initial lottery this year. As my EAD expired on July 4, 2024, I resigned from my position at Expedia on June 28. Currently, I am in the US on F1 CPT but was not employed for a month due to the expiration of my EAD.
  2. H1-B Re-Selection: My application may be picked in the second lottery. If this happens, I would like to know if I can be rehired by Expedia and proceed with the H1-B petition process. I am concerned about the implications of the employment gap and my current status.
  3. Legal Questions:
    • What are the implications of the employment gap on my H1-B petition and rehire process?
    • What steps should I take to ensure that my status remains lawful while waiting for the H1-B selection and filing?
    • Are there any specific actions I need to take to prepare for a potential rehire and H1-B petition filing?
