My H-1B with my current employer expires on Jan 10, 2026 and can’t be extended because I don’t have an I-140. Another startup plans to file my O-1A at the end of December. Can I remain in the U.S. while the O-1A petition is pending?
Hi Peter, My H-1B status is set to expire in November of this year, marking the end of my 6-year limit. My NIW (EB-2) petition is currently under review. In the event that my NIW is approved after my H-1B has expired, would my employer still be able to file for an H-1B extension on my behalf?
