8老師你好！非常非常感謝您專業的回答。針對您的回答我還有兩個問題想請教。
1. 我還沒有file I-485, 但是priority date是current。但是我有一個問題，不知我的out of status是從什麽時候算起。A公司H1B approve (but extension request denied) notice上說The denying reason is that your H1B status expired on July 25, 2024,
-This date should be your H-1B I-94 expiration date from M Company. From this date, you were out of status, but you still legally stay until December 11, 2024, the date M Company withdrew the H-1B extension petition.
and the petition was filed on October 25, 2024, so you failed to maintain your nonimmigrant status. 公司律師跟我都不知道July 25, 2024這個時間是怎麽來的，因為我的M公司的pending的H1B application receipt notice date是4/24/2024。M公司之前的公司我是從2月份離職的。所以我不清楚我是從 7/25/2024開始out of status還是應該更早，從M 公司之前的公司離職時，之前的有效H1B就已經過期了，i.e., 2月開始就out of status了。如果7月開始我out of status, 那是不是意味著我隻有大約30天的時間可以file I-485，
-Yes. Try to send out your I-485 application on January 18 around to allow USCIS put it in the system before January 25. You may do the medical examination now because USCIS require the completed I-693 (medical examination) must ne submitted within the I-485 filing at the same time.
但是如果從2月開始就 out of status，我是不是就不能file I-485了？因為已經超過180天的out of status了？
-Correct.
2. 我的專業是machine learning/AI相關的，是不是會比較敏感？
-Yes. So, I do not suggest you leave US until you get your green card. Just file I-485 as soon as possible and apply for the EAD at the same time as the I-485 filing. Discuss with the employer (A Company) that you need to stop working until your EAD is approved and ask the employer to keep the position for you.
Fortunately, I-485 filing is based on B Form for December 2024 and January 2025, so you can file it. Provide the copies of the I-129 petition Receipt Notice (i.e., the receipt notice for H-1B extension filed By M Company), the old H-1B I-94 with the H-B Approval Notice from M Company, the H-1B petition Receipt Notice filed by A Company, and the H-1B Approval Notice from A Company (without I-94) with your I-485 filing.
很擔心visa出問題，因為孩子家人都還在美國。也怕綠卡申請會有問題。
非常感謝8老師幫忙解答！
