Dear Immihelp,
I have few questions regarding to H1B transfer and EAD. Please kindly advise as your earliest convenience. It will be appreciated.
1) I am holding a H1B visa (will be expired in 2010). If my current employer has no intention to apply a greed card for me, what would be other alternatives to remain my status (I am searching for a new job at this moment)?
2) When I find a new employer, I will apply for a H1B transfer. Do I must transfer to the same position and salary as my old employer? What will be the options for the job titles? Or I simply need to find a new job which relates to my degrees?
4) I understand that I can decide to continue to work for the current employer after a H1B transfer is approved. How about during the filing? In the meantime, would I need to inform the IRS at the time of filing and at the approval time?
4) If I can not find a new employer before my H1B expiration date in 2010. Can I apply an EAD in order to extend my status in US? (FYI, I graduated with my BFA degree in 2000, and applied an EAD card with OPT. Later, worked with H1B visa for 3 years and back to F1. I received another EAD with OPT when I graduated with my Master degree in 2005. Now, I have my H1B visa till 2010.)
5) Can I apply a H1B extension for the seventh year and so on with my current employer?
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much for your time.
Best regards,
