Hi
I think am.in big trouble now.
My H1b and I94 was valid till 30th Oct 2018 and
Due to health reasons , I had to change my status to H4 through my husbands employer X,
on Oct 1st, 2018.
My husband changed employer Y on Oct 10th, So the new employer filed my husbands H1b transfer along with my h4.
I got back to work after 4 months, my employer filed h4 to h1 COS and got approval on Feb 10.
I have been working on H1b since then.
Last week my husbands current employer Y mentioned I got h4 approval through their company in Feb 24th and they missed to notify us on the update.
So my H4 approval was with them the whole time, for last 6 months and they didnt bothered to notify.
I've been working on H1b the whole time with out knowing my status changed to H4 through last action rule.
What is my status now? H1 or H4?!
I'm worried if I notify my employer , what action thry might take since it's already been 6 months am working on dual status.
Please suggest what are my options now with out jeopardizing my status.
Is it too late to go out of country and get H1b stamped? Can I still do that?
Please advise. I'd greatly appreciate your time.
Thanks
