I am working on L1 Visa valid till next year and my spouse is working on dependent L2 visa EAD in another firm,. My spouse's firm is sponsoring her H1-B this year and will be submitting petition on April 1st.
Now I would also like to try for some Job/ change my employer and transfer to H1-B in the current year. I had some offers last year as well, but could not continue as if I changed to H1-B my spouse will become H4 and not eligible for work.
My Question is when I can accept any offer and start the H1-B filing?
1) If my petition is approved and My Spouse's H1-B petition is rejected , is there a way I can withdraw my H1B before Oct 1st so that I will remain in L1 and my spouse can continue working in L2.
2) Do I have to wait till my spouse's petition to be approved before starting my H1-B filing to be safe? Problem is chances of getting a Job will be very less by that time as H1-B quota will be almost over
Please provide your guidance. Thanks in advance
