I'm on H1B visa with an approved I-140.My H1B visa is valid until 1/1/2019.I'm also a Canadian permanent resident. I just got 2 week layoff notice,my last day at work is 7/4/2016.I've decided that both me and my wife will move to Canada permanently by 7/25/2016:
(1) In order to avoid unlawful presence beyond 7/4/2016,I would like to apply for visitor visa for both me and my wife so that we can take care of the formalities and logistics here in peace before we move to Canada permanently. But since my I-140 is approved, will USCIS approve B1/B2 visitor visa for me and my wife? When should I apply for it and how long will it take to get approved?
(2) If I can't apply for visitor visa, what are the other options that'll allow me to stay legally in USA before I move to Canada permanently?
