Hello,

I need help!!!! My situation is weird and a little bit complicated.

-I was on H-1B.
-I lost job on October 15th and my company filed for revoking my H-1B on November 7th.
-I filed to change to B2 on November 5th and recieved the B2 application receipt notice from CIS on November 19th.
-Now it is May 7th, my B2 is still pending. I called CIS customer service and was told they are so far processing application recieved in August.

If my B2 was denied, I would have been overstayed for more than 180 days. I only wish my B2 will be approved.

My first question is: even if my B2 was approved, would it keep me in status till May 19th only? (November 19th - May 19th)

My second question is, if I find a job before B2 application decision is made,
Can I file for H-1B transfer?

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
