I filed an application to change status from H1B to H-4, and the application is still pending. I just received a new job offer. Can I go back to H1B and start working in the new position?

Answer

If one’s H1B I-94 has not yet expired, this may be possible, depending upon the circumstances. However, this is a complex question, so one in this situation should talk to a qualified attorney for individualized advice. (07.Jan.2019)
