My case in brief:
I am currently of F1 OPT (STEM), valid until 15th June 2023.
My company will be filing for H1B this March.
However, I am wondering if I should be filing for an H4 visa simultaneously.
Could you tell me how long it takes for an H4 visa and an h4 EAD to process?
If I file for an H4 visa in February, would I lose my f1 visa as soon as the h4 visa is approved?
Is there any new policy where I can get h4EAD sooner? And moved my F1 EAD to h4 EAD without any employment gap?
Should I wait for the h1b result before applying for an h4 visa?
What is the best scenario to switch from F1 OPT EAD to h4 EAD, without/minimum employment gap?
Recently worked with Pavithra Madhanakumar in Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna for my parents B1/B2 extension of stay. The entire process was seamless. Pavithra was very responsive to our queries and kept us informed of our next steps throughout the way. Very happy to have associated with this firm. Every member in the team seemed invested in our case and provided valuable guidance. Would love to associate again in the future.
