I-140被取消身份為何

I had been in F1 until December 2004. Before the end of last Fall semester I filed for the transfer of F1 to H4 while my spouse and asked for H1 extension for the 7th year based on the approved I-140 got through his former employer.
Unfortunately, we received a RFE from USCIS last week, informing us that I-140 had been revoked. Now though he has a pending LC filed by his current employer, but it is far from the 365 days requirement for extending H1B for the 7th year.
Does his case have any hope? Am I already out of status (I did not register this spring)? Is there anything we can do other that going back to China ?
這個問題要從不同的角度回答。第一,提出I-140有否申請I-485。如果有申請I-485,而且超過六個月,一般I-140是無法取消的。除非申請人沒有申請I-485(因為優先日期未到) 即便I-140提出超過六個月,AC21也不適用於此。
因為申請人的第七年H-1B是借著之前的I-140所提出的(AC21對因為該國名額來到的人,可因此延期) 。但是因為現在I-140被取消,所以AC21對他的保護也因此消失。連帶著H-1B的第七年也就在I-140被取消時立即停止。我們並不知道I-140取消的原因為何,所以無法做進一步的分析,該申請人既然已經轉到別的公司,後來又辦新的LC,很明顯的,之前的I-140已經不保,因為當時I-140還沒有被取消,所以H-1B的第七年還是有效。到如今恐怕什麽辦法都沒有。
