老公被雷,payroll會上到5月初. 緊急求助幾個轉身份問題.
1. 我是H4身份,兩個月前已經拿到幾個學校的offer,想問一下,我申請轉F1,他同時申請轉F2可行嗎?
-Yes.
2.是不是隻要在5月之前把轉身份申請寄出去,我們在美國的身份就是合法的?
-Yes.
3. 好像在哪看F1身份在I20開始日期之前30天才生效.如果轉身份申請可以批準,我的I20開始日期是9月12號,是不是隻有8月13號之後F身份才生效?
-Correct.
如果在8月13號之前轉身份申請已經批準,那從批準之日到8月13號之間的gap怎麽辦呢?
-That will be a problem. So, if your spouse's employer will not withdraw the H1 immedaitely after he is laid off (he may talk to the employer not to withdraw the H1 until July), you may file F1 and your spouse file F2 application in the end of May and thus, the F1/F2 pending time will cover the period of later May to August 13. Because your spouse last paycheck will be in the end of April or early May, USCIS can not tell his unemployment befofe June (he can provide the last 3 month paycheck stubs including the April or early May one).
4. 如果老公轉成F2以後,找到工作,是不是隻要辦理H1b transfer?
-Ask the new employer to file change fo status from F2 to H1 (equal to new H1 filing).
還是需要重新申請H1b名額?
-Not at all. He can continue to use the left 4 year H1 period.
他的H1b才用了兩年.
