Hello All
I need some information regarding shifting from H-1B to H4. I have a valid H-1B Visa till 2021 (First 3 years). I'm working in Texas and my husband is in Wisconsin. I'm not able to find a job in Wisconsin area or Illinois area as I need a H-1B transfer. So I'm planning to shift to H4 for some time and in the mean time my husband's employer will start filing for I-140.
1. How long will it take for H4 processing?
2. Should I keep working until H4 gets approved?
3. Because I used only 1 year of my H-1B out of 6 year term. Will my H-1B get expired?
4. If I want to work in the future, do I need to wait until I get H4-EAD or will I be able to use my unused H-1B?
5. If in future, some employer sponsors me H-1B will it still have to go through lottery?
Please provide your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
