1. Work Authorization After December 26, 2025:
o Can you explain how the 540-day rule affects my work authorization? What happens if USCIS delays my GC-EAD extension?
o If my GC-EAD extension is delayed beyond the 540-day limit, what legal options do I have to maintain my work authorization? Will I lose my work authorization even though I’ve complied with all the requirements?
2. Reactivation of H1B Status:
o If I need to reactivate my H1B status, how do we go about that? Are there any risks involved in switching from GC-EAD back to H1B status?
o Can you clarify the process for reactivating my H1B if it comes to that, and are there any potential complications in this process?
3. Employer Assurance Letter:
o Can you help me get an assurance letter from my new employer confirming that I’m authorized to work under the 540-day extension rule and that I’ll stay authorized beyond/after December, 2025?
o What’s the best way to ensure my new employer will feel confident hiring me under this extension rule without any legal risks or complications later on?
4. Legal Status for Any Employer:
o Aside from reactivating my H1B, are there any other legal options that would allow me to stay in legal status and continue working for any employer without the need for H1B sponsorship?
o Considering I’ve been here since 2008, and my kids were born and raised in the U.S., can you help me explore any other legal avenues to stay authorized to work without needing to rely on H1B sponsorship?
5. Backup Plan for Delays:
o What backup options do I have if USCIS delays processing my GC-EAD extension? Is there a way to reactivate my H1B or stay in status under another provision while waiting?
o Are there any strategies to ensure I maintain continuous work authorization if my GC-EAD extension is delayed further past the 540-day limit?
Thanks in advance.
