Implications of the 240 days grace period
I am on H1-B with approved I140. My I94 expired on 10th October and my H1 extension was filed in time. After 7 months of processing time I got RFE even though my employer has filed two service requests requesting to expedite the process. Regardless now that I have got the RFE there is a very high probability that I wont get a response before 240 days which is on 6th June. As far as my understanding goes I am allowed to stay even after 240 days of H1 extension waiting for the decision but not authorized to work. Is that understanding right?

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Rajiv, Leslie and everyone else at the Law Offices of Rajiv S Khanna for the excellent work done on my Green Card case. We received approvals for our I-485s yesterday and are delighted! Mine was a case requiring porting of priority dates from EB3 to EB2 and Rajiv's firm did an excellent job of that. They are very response to my queries and have an excellent system in place to support us thru all phases of the GC process. They are also cutting edge in terms of using technology. Excellent firm and would definitely recommend it. Thanks!!
