I need to relocate to India for family reasons in 2025. My I-140 has been approved for over 180 days, and my initial H1B visa is valid until August 2025. I want to keep my options open if I decide to return to the US in the future.

1. Is there any difference in moving to India before or after filing for my H1B extension if I plan to return to the US with the same or different employer?

2. Additionally, is there a time limit within which I must return to the U.S. with the same or a different employer with an approved I-140?

3. Do I need to go through the H1B lottery again anytime if I want to return in the future?

4. Does it matter if my PD is current when I return to the US?

1. I am currently in a 60-day grace period due to a layoff and am in the process of finding a new employer to file an H1B transfer. I have two questions regarding my situation:
If I apply for a B1/B2 visa on the 59th day of my grace period and it is approved within two weeks, can my new employer still file an H1B transfer using premium processing? 

2. Specifically, I am concerned about the impact of my status change from H1B to B1/B2 and then back to H1B on the processing of the transfer.

3. My family members hold a valid US visa stamping until March 2027, which was obtained using my previous employer's I-797. Can they enter the US using this existing visa with a copy of my new employer's I-797 at the port of entry?

1. I am on L1A, and I have Approved EAD and AP. Also, 180 days of waiting is over.

My question is, can I switch employers? If so, how will USCIS match my job duties? 

2. On L1A, it's an International Manager experience, and how can I show that I have international manager experience with the new Employer?
