Default H1B approaching 6 years, NIW I-140 pending
Hi,

My 6 years of H1B will be up soon and my NIW I-140 petition is pending. I have received my EAD card though.

What options do I have - will I be able to extend my H1B for another year? Can I use the EAD card as it is without getting the I-140 approved, even though it is risky?

Thanks.

aguy,
You are eligible for 1yr extensions. If your I-140 is approved, you can get 3 yr extensions. Since you are saying it is NIW, it is always better to be on H1 because those cases are approved after intense scrutiny. Where was your I140 application sent?
