Here is my situation:
L1B Visa - Expired Nov-2013
I 94 - Valid till Apr-2016
I 129 - Has From date - Oct-2010 To date - Oct-2013
I 797 - From 2009, indefinite validity (since this is a blanket petition)
My questions:
-
I am in the process of applying for H1 this year. Will my current situation put me out of status anytime between now and Oct-2015?
-
My spouse is on L2 EAD and is also applying for H1. Will the expired dates on my records cause any issue to my spouses’s application?
-
Assuming point 1 is not an issue and I get picked in the lottery, on Oct-2014, I would have roughly completed 4.3 yrs in US. Can I just do a COS and switch to a new employer?
Appreciate your help
