After being laid off from my H1B job, I applied for a change of status to H-4. That application has been pending for several months. I now have a new job offer, and the employer will file an H1B for me. Am I allowed to sign their offer letter now, or do I need to wait for the H1B to be approved?

The rules regarding whether a particular activity may be considered unauthorized employment are fairly vague. However, it seems very unlikely that the USCIS would view signing an offer letter as a form of unauthorized employment. (16.Jul.2025)
