Very difficult Visa Situation

[siddiboy]

This is for my Friend..

Here are my details, appreciate your help in this regard.



Srini's Status

· L1B was valid till May 2006 (maxing out - 5yrs)

· L1B to H1B was filed by his company in Aug 2005. It was approved in Aug 2005 itself with an effective start date of 01Feb2006



Priya's Status

· L2 was valid till May 2006 (maxing out - 5yrs)----was working with EAD based on her L2 visa. The EAD vaility is till May 2006

· L2B to H4B was filed by Srini's company in Aug 2005. It was approved in Aug 2005 itself with an effective start date of 01Feb2006

· At the same time we applied for L2B to H1B for Priya through another company (receipt date 10Aug2005). Even after 150 days we did not see update in USCIS.gov site. So, we even applied for Premium around Feb 2006. But no response yet.





So, in summary....The current situation for Priya is...

· Priya's H4B is effective from 01Feb2006

· Priya's H1B processing.... is still in progress according to USCIS status

· Priya's has a L2 based EAD card in which the validity is till May 2006



Questions:



a) Can I continue to work...even after 01Feb2006?

b) If I am not supposed to work beyond 01Feb2006 but since is continuing to work, what are the repurcussions?

c) Are there any work arounds for me to continue working?
