H-4 EAD and H-1B Extensions Rules Change
1. I have completed 6.9 years on L1A and move to H4-EAD based on my wife’s approve I-140. Now H4 EAD may go away. What option do I have to stay here and continue working (even after gap of a few months if needed) or I need to go out of US for at least 1 year and come back? <br>
2. I have already completed my 6.9 years. Can company apply H1B for me in April 2018 and I can come back to US after spending 1 year outside. I believe H1B can be applied only 6 months prior to joining that job. But I can’t start working from Oct 1st as I already completed 7 years without pending GC labor/ I-140. In that case I can apply H1B only in April 2019 and start working from October 2019?

My mom lost her extension approval letter and couldn't board the flight from India because airline authorities said that letter is required. Thank you Mr. Khanna for your suggestion of contacting my area congressman to get the details of missing extension approval letter. That was very helpful and I got those details. I have all the information to file I-824 to get a copy of extension approval letter.
